I'm wondering if there's a crack in the crankcase that you ain't spotted, yet.
oil drip from oil pump.. Help
Got a problem with my '03 R6.
There is oil dripping form the oil pump. Well not from the oil pump but there is an intermittent drip happening. Seems like it's coming from a screw from what I can tell. The previous owner went down and one the two screws connecting to the clutch cable is dripping which is on the oil pump. Not losing enough oil to keep topping it up but this drip is pissing me off...:furious
I replaced the oil pump gasket and the bolt(cleaned both surfaces before installing the new gasket). Went riding today and the same thing is happening.
There is a slight drip starting from the screw area. I tightened the screws all around the pump cover as much as I could.
Is or has anyone had this issue happen??!??? please help :hattip

you could try putting pipe thread sealant on the bolt too.
I would think if the bolt got bent it fucked up the hole in the crankcase. not far enough down so the bolt wont thread back in but around the first few mm maybe.

I'll try that. Can you buy that at any automotive/bike store?serpentracer said:you could try putting pipe thread sealant on the bolt too.

Go to Home Depot and in the plumbing section you'll find some white teflon tape thread sealant.
do not go to home depot, they will only carry home repair stuff. a auto parts store will carry automotive grade thread sealant. its meant for engines so its able to withstand heat, vibrations, oils, gas, etc...rice_smuggler said:Go to Home Depot and in the plumbing section you'll find some white teflon tape thread sealant.

dont tighten the screws as much as you can, that could be your problem right thier, you gotta look it up in the Manaual and torque it to spec, if you over tighten it will smoosh the gasket and its going to leak, so i would recommend getting a new gasket and using a torque wrench, and try that
