wraith Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Well, got a bit of time yesterday to do a bit of work on the gsx1100f Hellcat as it was running and just needed a bit of tweaking before I moved, I decided I'd fire it up balance the carbs etc. But after it warmed up it started pissing oil out but can't quite tell if it's from the base gasket or the oil drain pipe (LHS) It wasn't leaking before, so not sure if the new o rings in the drain pipe has just gone hard as it's had a couple of warm ups before it got put into storage or what. Any ideas before I start taking the engine out? Quote Link to comment
BillyR Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Can you stick some kitchen roll on the suspected areas and spin the motor over? Might give you a better idea of where its coming from. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yes, this is what I'm thinking has happened but this is going to have to wait till end of summer before I start taking the engine out, didn't get to do much riding last year with house move etc so if it stops raining will be riding the other bikes before i start getting stuck in to the project Quote Link to comment
