oil leak bodge anyone?

Right....
Gave the B12 a jetwash today to clean it all up and find the source of the minor oil leak.

One is the oil cooler line, not an issue.

The other is from the oil pipes on the front of the engine,prob just a knackered O ring on the top. Looks like cannot be changed without top end being removed which I can't do at moment as its used every day!

Any recommendations for squidgy substance I can stop the leak with for the time being? Until I have a chance to take tip end off....

Cheers.

I think you've got no chance, ive seen silicon bath sealer, hylomar and all sorts used but it dosent work, onmly way is to whip the head off and replace all the O ring, and use genuine Suzuki ones as they are a really odd size, else it will leak all over agin

Bugger.....

I can confirm that the halfrauds bought "wynns leak stop" actually does what it says!

pretty amazed really, although was only a tiny leak from an O ring, this stuff has actually worked!

Only needs to last until the engine comes out for lots of work to be done anyway!.

That's bodgetastic

As per title!

bikes used daily at moment, O rings will be replaced when engine comes out for painting in a few months
