Oil leak above exhaust

[Shadow1]

ok. ive looked and can seem to find anything on it.



after driving for about a half hour, for some odd reason i get an oil leak right behind the motor, under the intake manifold somewhere. it leaks onto the exhaust(right on the flew pipe). does anyone know what it could be? i had this same problem on my 1st cb and i changed the oil pressure switch and it didnt stop. any ideas?

oil filter or oil pan gasket

That's what I am thinking. Maybe the filter is on to tight and the O ring isn't seated well enough?

well thats one thing i think about when i tighten my oil filter. so i never over tighten it or not enough.

O ring on the filter. I accidentally put mine on too tight once and it leaked. Pissed me off because it took me 2 days to find it. I kept thinking "I just changed the filter so that can't be it".

Worth a shot to check though. Just take a rag and wipe around the oil filter seats to the block and see if you get anything.

EDIT: Sorry Shadow, didn't see that post when I posted that.

you think the head gasket would cause an oil leak? but i got the oil pressure sensor in my car now. but ill be getting a new oil pan gasket on my next check.

Nots not that common, but it is possible.

ill take a look at that. i think this motor needs an overhaul anyway. it has over 200k on it. im not sure if any of the seals or gaskets were changed.

My motor has 260k on all original seals...Hardly any leaks, really.
