Post by Racing220 »

The clutch/water pump engine cover is leaking from the gasket, I recently replaced the seal, and it stopped leaking for maybe a month. Now it leaks again, please help

Engine side cover oil leak

clean & inspect both surface faces for cracks/digs etc especially where the bolt holes are as sometimes these can fracture due to over-tightening...when installing a new casing gasket i always ues a good quality grease NOT oil on the gasket before fitting..tighten down bots in the usual criss-cross fashion then wipe off excess grease..top up with oil...job done :grin:
