![]() Small Continentals typically leak from both ends of the pushrod tubes. The rubber couplings at the case need to be replaced, which requires pulling the cylinders off, at which time the cylinder base seals (o-rings) should be done, too. The head end of the tubes will often leak until the rocker covers are removed, cleaning solvent (like Brake and Parts Cleaner or laquer thinner) is used to flush out the tube/head joints, and a wicking Loctite is run into them. If it's the front crankshaft seal, there's a split version available to install without any fuss. The oil tank or accessory cover gaskets might be leaking, and worst of all, the crankcase joint might be starting to seep. Dan |
