Oil leak? to worry about or not?
Firstly I don't like starting new threads, I have searched for an answer but can't find any like mine..
So after having a go down the lane on my bike yesterday I put her in the shed on the stand. After work today thought I would go and change the rear brake caliper, but there was Oil in a puddle (albeit small) on the floor under the head, on closer inspection it seemed to be coming from the exhaust valve, seeping its way past the tappet cover. Anyway I got new covers and seals today so have fitted them. Fired it up n let it warm properly, No blue or white smoke, no oil leak.
Just been back in the shed and there is another small puddle! I cannot work out at all how its coming out of there, even put a little hylomar around the tappet cover seal now and drained all the oil. Don't really want to waste more oil overnight
Found lots of threads about it coning from the exhaust port but all of them have blue smoke too!
Any ideas?
Lifan 125 btw
