I need a little help on my 2004 Vento 150 with 10200 miles
After riding this unit it leaks oil under the motor it does not leak when running it happens after the ride. I did notice a oil film on the left side of the rear tire and wheel I resealed the valve cover gasket last Monday I did notice the gasket was flush with the valve cover .
It did leak less later on Friday afternoon I check the head boat they we're tight my gut tells me 2 things I may be over filling it and may be due for a minor over haul. I got some help and had it just sitting on the tires it showed full. Should I replace the head and valve cover gaskets? I have a full kit located 30 miles away for $25.00 and be done with it or just get a new valve cover gasket ? I just want to nurse it threw the season. the motor runs good other wise. By the way it has no egr valve
Update August 27 12013
I though I had it fix I sealed the starter with sealer still leaks and the starter wont crank starts easy with kick lever
Background the local roads has had a lot of construction I don't know what damage I could have done I"am about ready to seal every seam with gasket sealer or jbWeld I don't plan on putting much money in this as I plan to go the 3 wheeler route in the spring I did fix the carb one other note it now takes 7000 rpm to get to 50 mph the belt is dry and replace with the 13.0 rollers last summer I'm thinking about replacing the rollers
Thanks for any help
