Do you all think this oil leak is coming from the oil pan seal?
Check by smell if it’s engine oil or transmission oil. Engine oil will leak from cam plug, rear main seal etc. gear oil can be identified by its odor and will come from oil seals either on the shafts or the clutch pushrod. How much is coming out?
Also it's hard to tell but I believe it's engine oil.
First check that the breather hose coming out the top of the engine isn't leaking into the bell housing and dripping out the bottom.If not then you get to pull the transmission and address all the internals. Might as well do both main seals as well as the other problem areas while in there. I lift the bike off the engine / transmission assembly. Then split the two. It's easier for me to address clutch reinstallation with the engine on its face. Others crab the frame, which didn't work well for me. I built a copy of the factory engine support and installed a pair of come-along hoists from the ceiling to lift / lower the frame off the engine.It's a V11, but the T3 is done the same way.
Maybe you'll get lucky and find the 23 year old breather hose is cracked and dribbling back thru the bell housing. That's just a "remove the tank and inspect" job.
Hose #37 can crack and drool oil over the attached breather manifold. It then passes through the bell housing and out the bottom.(Or possibly #39)
Actually, getting the engine and transmission out of the frame isn't too bad. Look up "crabbing the frame" for some tips. You basically block up the motor and lift the frame off it, rather than wrestle the motor out of the frame. And- in the picture above- hose #37 is oriented vertically- it comes UP out of the bell housing.
Would it be okay to make my own hose?
Is this the hose in question? If so it is cracked but I am still confused on how oil would end up coming out near the oil pan.anonymous image hostingNope that’s #47…the exit to air …thicker hose then the other two…exits down to the ground…on a Vert you can run it out to below the rear axle
On a separate note, I also noticed on my first ride that the speedo was not working. Is there a common fix for this issue? Rpm Gauge works.
Make sure both ends are snug…a half turn tighter fixed mine. Do not remove the transmission end for now…there’s some bits in there I forget about but check the diagrams maintenance manuals
I'm sorry both ends of what?
Speedometer cable
Update:Flasher relay was garbaged so I installed a new one and still nothing.
If you installed a new thermal flasher (little metal can), there's a good chance it's bad right out of the box. Every one I bought a few years ago was bad, switched to electronic flashers from Amazon.
