Oil Leak Near Kickstand area

vladthedog · Aug 6, 2015

Needing some input from some vmaxers who've dealt with this. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, and I'm mechanically inclined, but just not sure where to start. See the pics attached, but I have an oil leak from near where the kickstand is. I've tried cleaning it off multiple times now, to try to find exactly where the leak is coming from, but no luck. Wondering if I should just replace the whole seal, or if there is something else that might be an easier fix first. Thanks in advance. It's obviously pretty dirty right now. Thought I would get some initial input before I cleaned it again.

I would take a peak under the rubber cover for the clutch bleeder. That grommet where the stator wires go through sometimes go bad and oil will wick right through it and run down the stator cover.

Same thing I was thinking.. I get a occasional seepage from mine.

i'm definitely seeing a lot of oil in there, so makes sense. I assume its where the three wires are going in?

thanks for some guidance on this. I've found a few threads pertaining this, so will do some research.

Correct, 3 white wires go from stator, through grommet and on to rect/reg.
