Title: Oil leak. How bad is it?
Post by: iltl32 on May 07, 2015, 07:56:28 AM
2005 620 Dark.  It's been leaking oil for the 3 years I've had it and hasn't been a big problem, but now I plan to sell it for something a little bigger so it's gotta get fixed.  It's leaking from the two bolts in this picture:

So, how difficult would that be to fix?  I'm a newb when it comes to repairs.

Thanks.

remove cover
clean off
add sealant
replace cover.

might just need to remove and retorque the bolts.

Or add gasket - CA Cycleworks has gaskets for those accessory cases if you don't want to mess with goop.

Ignition sensor 'might' need reshimming if you add a gasket.

 I would just pull the two screws and add some goop then stick them back in.

So, this Goop.  What's it called in the store?  I'm trying to order some and not sure what to search for.
