Title: 1500 oil leak
Post by: mellenhead on October 03, 2010, 18:54:35 PM
My 1500 is leaking oil at the top right rear of the rear cylinder, with the oil landing on the right hand side cover. I was wondering if anyone might have experienced a similar leak in the past and might know what particular area of the motor is leaking. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

This may be your problem... and solution. Just verify oil is coming from the area described.

Thanks for the reply Chief, but I think I may have missed part of it. Was there supposed to be something before the "This may be your problem" part, or a link to some other info?

To just replace the plug, that would probably require pulling off the tank/covers/etc to get to them right?
