Title: XL 600 OIL LEAK
Post by: ONE LUNGER on November 11, 2007, 02:43:29 PM

Hi, does anybody know what the silver bung is for on the right hand side of the cylinder head, if so whats behind it because it is leaking oil quite badly, but seems very tight. Its on a 1983 Honda XL 600R.
Thanks

Jon

According to the book, it's the cam chain tensioner pin and should never move so shouldn't leak. Did somebody try to turn it?

The O-Ring needs replacing if its leaking.
