So out of nowhere my bike has started to blow oil out of the mufflers. It also has some on the cooling fins on the back side of the cylinder above the muffler. Has anyone had this happen? It’s dripping on the mufflers and I can smell it burning. The bike did fall over a week ago for a second. Don’t ask lol. Looks looks it could be blowing out of the muffler or a valve cover gasket maybe?
When you say mufflers I assume you mean head pipe. Do you hear a exhaust leak, you can do a smoke test to check for leaks. It souldnt be to hard to isolate the leak in that area.
It’s coming out of the mufflers. When I put my hand behind them it covers my hand with little speckles. It’s also has visible oil on the cooling fins by the rear head pipe. I don’t know what or how to do a smoke test lol. I will look it up.
