leaky o ring:countershaft sprocket.

Conall,
If you take off the countershaft sprocket, there is an o-ring
waaaaaaay inside that fits around the countershaft that is the culprit.
I think the size of the o-ring is 21.5mm and I got mine at Ace. You need
to take off the oil collar to reach it. There is no need to drain your
engine oil to replace it, but you will have a little spillage, that wipes
up with a rag. I had the same leak on my A 8 and it took me forever to
discover the source. Now it's bone dry and no leaks. Also, you may want
to slack off on your chain tension a little when you button everything back
up. Good luck.
