Just another oil leak

Hey all T25 2ltr air-cooled and she has an oil leak underneath. With myself not being too overly mechanically confident, can someone advise? Only brought 4-6 weeks ago and she had this leak when we brought her. Not a major leak but enough to be a constant drip and making a mess outside our house. ht...

Leaking rocker covers

Hey. So the other day my t25 2.0 air-cooled was in for some engine maintenance to get it running better. The rocker covers were removed to check the valve clearances and now its home and both rocker covers on both sides are leaking oil. Is this something normal for new gaskets being fitted to the co...

I feel that that is what it should have and what it ...

Re: New and confused

Re: New and confused

Ah okay I will change the pipes to nylon then. Thanks for that. That will certainly help. So where should the crankcase breather tube be heading to rather than the rhs carb?
