The oil weep hole (red arrow) on the clutch cover never quits weeping oil and making a mess on the side of my bike. If I ride an hour, it will leak for the entire hour. Two hours, it will leak for two entire hours. And so forth.
I have put 1000ml of oil, but the bike has been sitting open for a while, and drained of most of what was already in there, so basically I could even have put more than that (it says 1400ml after rebuild). So there cannot be too much oil.
I rode the bike today for about 30 minutes, never too fast, never pass 3rd gear, so indeed the engine ran hot from turning around with not much airflow and on a hot summer Arizona day, but it cannot overheat that much.
I wonder if this hole should not be welded shut or partly shut. Partly shut would be better, I guess. I am tired of that oily mess, but the weep hole has a purpose, so shutting it completely may not be wise.
I am ready to J-B Weld the ******* shut but I'd hate to cause the bike to explode because of that.
So far, no coolant contamination to report, so the seals are fine.
