Oil cooler repair
Finally after a couple of weeks of fustrated searching I have tracked down the source of my oil leak.
It would appear to be coming from inside the finned area between the top and second row. Can't actually see a hole, but getting the bike very hot on the stand, having first swabbed down the motor till you could eat your lunch off it, there was pretty conclusive evidence in the form of a tiny weep from this area.
As it's an RS with an 8 row cooler, I'm not going to be able to pick up a spare too easily or quickly, so in the meantime old faithful got robbed and her 6 row cooler plumbed in for the Rizla day on Tuesday.
Anybody had any sucess getting these things repaired? It's not like a radiator where you can chuck some goop in and hope for the best.
Any advice gratefully received.
