    I just had this rebuilt, had it out of the shop about three days, its been rode about 30 miles. And oil is coming out of the top of the most forward pushrod area. The bike does run still. I just noticed a slight leak luckily I was about a mile from home and could take it easy on the way back. It seemed to have a slight loss in power on the way back. Nothing noticeable is broken I took the airbox apart nothing is broken up there. A few drops of oil made it into the air filter area. The shop the rebuilt it isn't open until Tuesday which is why I'm posting this. Just looking for a good idea of what happened. I went for a one mile ride top speed of 30mph when this occured.

    Did they remember the o rings that go around the tops of the cover?

    I guess we'll find out Tuesday. I googled this and if there is any debris or if there is a knick or anything like that in the grove up there it will leak. I'm hoping this is all it is. Just spent $4001.05 to have them balance the crank and rebuild it. That wud not be good if the block was cracked or something now. Was running so smoothly until this.
