I have an oil leak positively identified with the use of leak tracer dye and UV light dead center on top of the oil pump. I have installed a new 36 mm type one oil pump modified for the type 4. I also applied a generous amount of my favorite gasket sealer yet the leak remains. It will only leak with the engine running which indicates to me it is under pressure. My theory is that the case halves may not have had enough sealer on them during engine asssembly.
My question then is how do I seal this thing without splitting the case? Can I apply sealant to the circumference of the oil pump? Any thoughts or experiences appreciated. |

You're going to have to dump that oil. clean, clean, clean!
Yamabond you have to go to a Yamaha bike dealer, amazon or evilbay for Threebond 1104 neo. |
