weephole on the right side of head

helithumper · May 22, 2011

I have a 2005 fs650e and I fitted it with some dirt tires and went to the local mx track on the weekend. upon my return I noticed some oil leaking from the rear engine vent tube (no worries) easy fix. but I also noticed some oil came out of the weephole on the right side of the head. I have looked for info on what would cause this with no luck. any advice would be great. oh ya does anyone else have problems with there oil going black after a couple of hrs.

RHS weephole on the head is to drain from around the spark plug, so either the plug is leaking, or more likely oil is getting down there from the rocker cover. Not sure what the rear engine vent tube is, as they normally vent up to the air box from the rocker cover. These engines turn oil black, so time to change the oil.

one of the rocker cover 6mm bolts comes out in the sparkplug cavity in the head, someone posted a while back about oil coming out of it thats where I would look if its not the spark plug, to fix it remove the bolt, degrease bolt and thread in the head and coat in loctite 515 then put it back.

ok I will look at the spark plug area today as with the 6mm valve cover bolt. as for the rear vent tube I was talking about the rear one onm the valve cover.

Check either of the 6mm bolts that pass through the inlet and exhaust rocker arm shaft on the right side and hold the valve cover, the movement of the shaft sometimes fatigues the bolt and it breaks and due to lack of tension oil leaks out under the head of the bolt and runs into the spark plug cavity.

I found the problem to be a split engine breather tube. the oil was leaking on the raer on the engine and also into the spark plug cavity. I still removed the 6mm bolt and aplied silicone to the threads. thanks for the help
