[QUOTE="chankly bore, post: 33863, member: 317"] Check your Primary Chaincase level and your Crankcase level immediately after a 20 or 30 mile run to establish what is normal in your motor and the check these two volumes after the machine has been sitting a couple of weeks. You should be able to clean around the sump plug and return the measured oil to the tank. This will establish whether the machine is "wet sumping" which is oil flowing past the oil pump and/or sleeve as it fits into the crankcase. If this is the detected problem, then most likely your crankcase is pressurizing the oil and forcing it to escape wherever it can most easily go! There are cures for the symptoms if this is the case, but the only sure and specific nostrum is a new and well- fitted oil pump assembly. The foregoing assumes that it is engine oil that you are finding. Let us all know how you get on! Cheers, F5AB/2A/7945 since 1970 [/QUOTE]
