916 Oil leak

Had this recently on the RS. Repalced the cheese alloy hoses with good old steel jobs and the things still leaked. Turned out to be the oil cooler in the end. Leaking between the top two galleries!

I had a leak on my old bike - turned out to be a copper washer on one of the fittings - a 2 minute job and an easy fix.

I would try that first.

I'll check the washer 1st, happen to me on a brake hose as well and it was the tiny copper thing.

Thanks
