pics?
also try cleaning it off and buying a oil dye detection kit. they are a bit pricey but if you can find a guy that works at a local shop that will test it on the side you'll be in good shape.

I had a mystery leak and found it to be a o ring sealing a sensor located under the front sprocket. O ring was molded poorly. If an o ring is near your leak check it.

I'm getting a little oil leaking out around my shift lever on my Roketa DB-05. Just a drop once in awhile, nothing major yet.

I think the Hawaii VIVA guy had his engine do the same? Leaked around the jug after 3000mi or so? Sound right?

On ours the leak was at the right rear at the base gasket. But the motor I just put back together has a new leak at the left front of the base gasket, and yes there is a O ring there. I should not of tryed to reuse the O ring. it's EZre and faster to get a new motor than a full set of gaskets.

it sounds right on the akonababy viva. i was gonna see if i needed to put a new oring on the button but i couldnt get it off. i guess it takes a special tool for it, the button on the side of the jug that looks like a big flathead screwdriver could take it off.
