Oil leak on 81 xs400

[Alex Morales]

So after replacing all of the gaskets in the engine on my xs400 I reassembled it only to find a tiny oil leak coming from the bottom of the bike. It's not bad only about a drop or two of oil every day but I would still like to find out where it's coming from. The oil is dripping off of the left black wire and I don't know where it Is coming from any help would be appreciated!

My guess is it is coming from the rubber grommet that the wires for the charging goes through. Also looks like your sump cover is leaking a bit. A good way to find leaks is to FULLY clean everything and look for wet spots.

Non! It actually eventually stopped leaking but I don't know if that is because the bike is just low on oil now or what haha
