Got back after a cold ride yesteday and checking over the machine for loose bits and oil leaks I found that the breather banjo bolt had obviously partially stripped its threads and had been silicone sealed in position.
I've not taken the part off yet but am guessing it's a 50/50 that treads in the case and the bolt are stripped. As there seems to be plenty of 'meat'in that area I was thinking I would drrill and re tap for next size up, using pleanty of grease on the tap to catch swarfe.
Can anyone see any obvious consideration i've not given to this straight forward fix?.
