Just a guess, but I'd check the oil filter for tightness. Title: Re: S4 oil leaking ..... again Post by: Howie on December 17, 2020, 10:05:10 AM Also remove the belt cover and look for signs of leaking, after thorough cleaning of course.
Title: Re: S4 oil leaking ..... again Post by: stopintime on December 17, 2020, 10:30:18 AM If the rubber hose is the one from the air filter box, and it has oil on it, it could be from there. Stuffed crank case breather catch box - blows oil into air filter box instead of it dripping back down into the engine.... and/or damaged piston/-rings which add to the crank case pressure.

The source of the leak will become apparent. Just a guess, but I'd check the oil filter for tightness. Years ago, Ducati changed the hardness of the oil filter seal from medium to hard. I saw the same filter leak (also my guess BTW) many times until I figured out what was going on. |
