Oil leak from where water pump goes into crankcase
5 Attachment(s)
I was riding the other day and I saw some smoke. when i looked, oil was burning on the exhaust, under the oil pan. I stripped the bike this weekend to look for any leaks. I found that there is some oil around the back of the water pump. I know that there is a oil hose coming from the filter to the water pump. Is there a seal that the water pump has? If so it is probably busted and letting oil through. Some picture are below. If any one can help me out it will be appreciated. Thanks

I tried to feel around the CCTL for oil and i didnt feel any. I know I have a coolant leak so maybe I am confusing the two. I will double check and fix the coolant leak and see if I still see what I think is oil.

I had the exact same problem recently. It turns out I had overfilled the oil. The crankcase has a hose that vents the extra oil into the airbox, and from there it drips down all over everything and makes a big mess. I'd definitely check that out first before looking elsewhere for leaks.
