Oil leakage --- Any ideas?

Post by AbRasiF »

Hi Everybody,<P>I have a 95 GS and I just noticied that I am loosing *a lot* of oil. In fact, I lost all my oil in less than a week. I took a look under the hood this morning and I noticed that the leak seems to come from the top left corner of my motor. The back of my motor, a part of my timming belt cover and everything is this area seems to be covered with oil. Any of you have some ideas about what could cause this mess?<P>Thanks!<BR>Etienne

If so, replace the gasket.
