[dsn_klr650] 95' klr oil leak

[zootpatutie]

Last year mine had a similar leak from the small bypass hole at the bottom of the housing which was oil bypassing the water pump shaft oil seal. Repair wasn't difficult, though it took me three tries and the bike being down for a month of great weather after being sold the wrong sized oil seal twice. Clean the area to see if this is the same for you. If so, and you choose to repair it, you'll need to replace the mechanical seal as well. Mine started leaking after a switch to synthetic oil and might have been liveable if I'd gone back to dino oil. Todd A9
