[QUOTE="pgbutler, post: 1345822, member: 89237"] Hi all. I believe this is my first post on this forum and I need a little advice.My 2005 KDX220 seems to have developed a leak from the gasket that seals the two halfs of the engine case while sitting in storage over the winter.Although I am not 100 % certain it does appear to be leaking a small amount of gear oil ( a few drips over several hours) from a spot 5 inches forward of the drain plug. I was hoping it was coming from the counter sprocket shaft seal or oil drain plug but no such luck. Assuming it is the gasket ( which it appears the KDX has) seal ing the two engine cases what are the chances that it can be sealed without splitting the cases? Would a sealent like an epoxy work or even tightening/ snugging up the engine case bolts that hold the cases together stop this leak. I hate the idea of splitting the cases as this bike has very few hours it and runs great. I suppose I could live with a small oil leak but that sort of thing drives my crazy. Any advice or suggesting would be greatly appreciated and help me sleep better tonight.Thanks! [/QUOTE]
