weird oil leak think

Post by readyjimm » Mon May 07, 2012 12:35 pm

when I let my honda dream 305 idle for a while, it appears that i have oil leaking from the headers/ Right piston cover. Can someone give me a little insight on this?

Thanks

You might check the cam cover behind your points plate. I had a similar leak on the left side and the left cover was loose and oil was running down the fins.

There's a gasket behind the cover. There's also a seal in the cover keeping oil off the points.
