Raptor Chapter NEW LOCATION

Hi guys n girls

Well, went for short ride to Rivington on saturday.
on the way I had a stange clutch slip when I accelorated to pass a car on the Motorway, thought nothing of it as it was only the once, but when I got there the RIGHT side of my engine was covered in oil and for the life of me I can't find where it's coming from.

SO?

Any ideas ?

oil cooler?

Good idea, just looked but it seem to be from the waterpump back (not on or around the pump though)

cheers Snapdragon

Clutch cover leaking (Mine does )

I have had one of the aluminium sealing washers on one of the oil cooler pipes fail in the past

I bet a pound to a pinch of the brown smelly stuff that it`s the clutch cover leaking.Mine did the same and i ended up sealing it with a little silicon sealant on a freshly degreased casing/o-ring seal and back casing making sure that the casing is lined up central as there is a little play and if left to sit a little low it will leak like a tap.Also the faster you go the more it leaks as the crankcase pressure pushes it out.I leaned mine against the wall of my house on the bar end(in gear to stop it rolling away) so that i didn`t have to drop the oil as i`d only just changed it.

ok
if it's not from the clutch cover

is it below the waterpump?
could it be oil mixed with coolant? below the water pump cover on the forward facing edge of the clutch casing there's a hole (looks like a bolt hole but with no bolt, about 5ml across) could it be from that hole?

Well thanks for all the sugestions

I went to ROAD & RACING in Hyde today, they used to be cagiva dealers and its still the same blokes just a nice new shop (suzuki)

anyway they were very helpfull and as it turns out it was the clutch cover gasket, new one now fitted, problem solved

yayhoo - Result !!
