Title: catastrophic oil leak
Post by: jon.hunt on September 25, 2011, 04:18:55 PM

Hi,
    Whilst driving my air cooler at speed the top rear stud that the Exhaust fastens on to has come loose and fell out and Oil pours out the hole were the stud was?    should there be oil at the bottom of the stud hole,  If so no problem I'll just put in a new stud and tighten the exhaust back on again.

Don't panic Mr Mainwaring  :o
The top two studs go straight through into the crankcase so will pump out oil when removed. The two lower ones are blind holes so will not  ;D
