Oil leak

[Mike Mercury]

My 91 VR was doing good putting over 40000 km since April 2012, after complete overhaul and mods.

Last week after a good ride, a puddle of motor oil on right side, oil level seems right and no problem with bike before this situation, after wiping oil clean, check my crancase vent filter, dirty but not soking in oil, start the bike and found a dripping pipe between the cylinders, on the rear right cylinder, the crossover oil pipe dripping 1 drop every 10 seconds at idle.

I did not want to remove my carbs but I think the nut with 2 crush washers was not as tight as the other side, so I removed nut.

Anybody ever had this problem, could it be something else, imput would be apreciated, I'm looking for a good permanent solution.

 

Thanks:stirthepot:

New crush washers and snug the bolt to specs should stop the leak.

I guess I'm the only guy with this problem. Found the problem, 16 months ago I made a crankcase vent modification (SMALL CONE FILTER) and this filter rubbed with motor the vibration on crossfluid pipe after time sawed it's way trought the steel pipe, strange but this is wat I found, replaced the defective pipe assy with one on spare motor.
