leaking oil from front sprocket area .... I thought !!! was created by Marp68
Yesterday I was out roiding the bike all day. After parking it, I saw that there wassome oil dripping on the ground. I bent down and saw that it came from the front sprocket area. Oooh no, I thought! Hope it's not the outgoing axle...
I took off the cover andnow saw tha it came from the plate that is placed after the front sprcket, protecting the area from getting dirty. Around the axle it was no oil dripping...
The wether that day plus the riding must have heated up the oiland dirt leftovers, so that it strted to drip. I just took it off and cleaned it.
I'm happy!!!

Is it possible that it was lube slinging off of the chain? How about the real wheel, is it also covered with gradoo that the chain might have shed?

Are you sure its not from the mission cover which is behind the sprocket?
