Glad to hear it worked, Frulk! It really doesn't take much dirt getting under the dust seals to cause a leak. In my case, I rode about 75 miles of dusty, muddy back roads and the seals started leaking immediately. That's what tipped me off that I might be dealing with dirt instead of a cracked seal.

Goodness me! That should be illegal !! Do you not stop every 100yards and clean it off...??

Arrived today by snail mail.

That's a lot of good news today, i followed with interest and happy for frulk for stopping the leak, what a story; Thanks Frulk and all helpers!
edit; just another thing i noticed in the "dirty picture" , not a lot of smutz on the oil cooler radiator, somebody put that in a good place.
