Motorbike Oil Leak

virago · 2009-08-03 17:39:01

Hi Folks, hope someone can point me in the right direction. Have a Virago 250 for a year now and starting to see black oil leak around where the exhaust is attached to the engine. Also the oil is going into the exhaust pipe and dripping at a mid section joint and end of the exhaust. Any advice is appreciated.:confused:

Oil shouldn't be getting into the cylinder, get it checked out by a mechanic

Sounds like a gasket gone in the top end.
