 435 cc Oil Leak - Is this a common problem When the engine is running I have a single drip of oil about every ten seconds from (i think)where the gearbox joins the engine. Has anyone got an idea of what this could be ? and what is involved with the repair. Many thanks.

Re: 435 cc Oil Leak - Is this a common problem Sounds like crankshaft rear main oil seal, although I'm not sure whether there is an actual lip seal there or just an oil return scroll on the crank. Either way it's an engine out job.

Re: 435 cc Oil Leak - Is this a common problem engine out and flywheel off so not really an easy fix whatever it is
should be a seal on the crank if its an engine that has been stood the old oil may have pitted the surface, the oil pump is also in that area so may be worth checking its not from there.

Re: 435 cc Oil Leak - Is this a common problem Any oil in the air filter housing?
Do an oil breather test including compression test before pulling the engine out.
Replacing seals may not be enough

Re: 435 cc Oil Leak - Is this a common problem check the oil level, just in case its overfilled
