oil seepage was created by DSummerlin
82 LTD 1000. hasn't been run in a couple of years. has been stored indoors, motor out of frame, empty of oil, and occasionally upside down. After a quick clean and paint refresh by member Zuki Dave, we've noticed this little seepage of oil. Figured I should present it to the forum for some sage advice on possible problem and possible solution.

To me it looks like it's seeping around the oil galley plug behind the head bolt.
The bike had been on the side stand for a few days and went to the shop last night I found the oil.
Game plan for now is finish putting the bike back together and see what happens when we fire it up.
If it pushes oil out while running I guess the head will need to come off should be no big deal to pull the plug and tap the hole for a threaded plug.

The oil galley plug behind the head bolt is a press fit aluminum plug.
Before i would remove the head i would try to do a little light hit with a drift punch to stop the leaking.
If you pull the plug(s) you can do a oil line mod like this
