severe leak but an annoying one. I'm getting a constant drip/run of oil from the oil filter/pump housing cover on the right side of the bike. I've replaced the rubber O ring once and have even tried using a silicon gasket sealer around the housing. Still leaks and I can't figure out why. I checked for cracks and dings in the crank case housing and on the cover it's self. Can't find any reason for the leak. It seems to drip from the lip/nipple with the arrow on it. Anyone out there got any ideas ?? Any and all info or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.> I have a 95' KLR 650 that's sprung a leak.... It's not a
95' klr oil leak

95' klr oil leak
Steve,
Is the arrow on the oil cover pointing upward? yes=good
no =pffft
What weight motor oil are you using?
Is the oil level correct? With your bike fully upright,
& not running, the oil level should be at or near the
top of the oil-level window.
Is the oil filter mounting pin installed correctly?
A small collar slips on the end of the pin nearest the
engine's internals. The pressure bypass valve is inside
this pin.
Did you tighten both cover screws** evenly? I tighten
the screws in 2 stages: little more than finger tight,
then final torque.
If none of this helps, you may have excessive oil
pressure. With the oil at normal operating temperature,
there should be 11-21 psi @ 4000 rpm.
Let us know how you make out.

anyway)
