[QUOTE="danno, post: 48769, member: 1372"] Yes, there's oil around that. Also the HT leads, valve lifter and clutch cable are coated in oil. Seeps a little from the inspection cabs although I have tightened them. May need new washers. The oil feed hose is leaking (LH side near front cylinder) where the hose fits over the metal pipe. This maybe causing the oil on the cables. Sometimes get a trickle near the gearbox oil inpection cap. Anybody got an oil tight Vin? I remember when I used to frequent a North London classic bike show at Picketts Lock (now the Olympic stadium) and a chap used to show up on an immaculate, oil tight Shadow (may have been a combination). Not a spot of oil. [/QUOTE]
