Oil leak on 86 Venture

[Komplexvn]

I hope someone can help. I just finished assembling a 1986 Venture that had been sitting foe approx 2 years. Everything was going along just fine until I started the bike for the first time. It ran pretty well and then I noticed engine oil dripping from the front swingarm boot onto the left side of the center stand. It appears to be leaking from the center of the boot on the bottom.

The dripping oil got warmer as the bike warmed up. Has anyone got an idea as to what the problem is and any ideas on how to remedy the problem. Thanks for your input. rick

Well, that can be a Problem.

 

If it's only the O-Ring sealing the complete angled Gear Housing, you can fix it easy. Take the Wheel out and Swingarm out open the three Bolts which hold that Thing in place and pull it out. Replace O-Ring and be mount everything back in Place.

 

If it's not this O-Ring, well that's bad News. This involves a Lot of Work and special Tools.
