Default Some FE motors are like old Harleys

Dinobyte If you have owned a older harley with chain oiler, your FE is doing the same thing, marking the area. Mine leakes about the size of a quarter after running. Diapers under the car or cardboard work the best. You will need to pull the oil pan and rear cap. See if it is a rope seal or neoprime seal. As long as the oil doesn't get into the bell housing or on the clutch surfaces, I would leave it alone. Check the oil level, (cold) for going for a drive. I tryed twice to fix the leak and stopped. They sell a leak dye kit with light for about $75.00 that you put dye in the oil, road test then use light and glasses to find where leak is coming from. Make sure you cleaned the area good with cleaner before you do this. You will see where the leak is coming from. you have a 50% chance of fixing it. Rick Lake
