THERE IS RED OIL LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE ONLY AND IS COMING OUT ONTO THE FERRING.WHAT IS CAUSING THIS

It can be difficult to determine the source of an oil leak, especially if the valve cover has already been replaced. Here are some common causes of oil leaks in vehicles:

1. Engine gasket leaks: Engine gaskets can leak oil, causing oil to seep out onto the engine and surrounding components.
2. Engine oil seals: Engine oil seals can become worn or damaged, causing oil to leak from the engine.
3. Engine oil cooler: Engine oil coolers can develop leaks, causing oil to leak out of the engine and onto the manifold.
4. Engine oil pan: Engine oil pans can develop leaks, causing oil to leak out of the engine and onto the ground.
5. Engine oil filter: Engine oil filters can develop leaks, causing oil to leak out of the engine and onto the manifold.

If you are unable to locate the source of the oil leak, it is recommended to have a professional mechanic inspect the vehicle

Where is the oil leaking from ie front of motor ,left side so on how did it start where you ridding the bike ,just started it , just shut it down after a long ride

as this will help in finding what is wrong

if the oil is leaking onto the exhaust pipe this will cause smoke as the exhaust pipe gets very hot & burns the oil, you will need to find out just where the oil is leaking from & repair the leak by replacing the gasket or whatever is causing the leak.....hope this helps......cheers.

If oil is accumulting inside the inetercooler, it means that the turbo-shaft seal is leaking causing oil to by pass in to the intake system, then through to your intercooler. A quick check to see if this is a fault, remove the hose/piping from the turbo the intercooler and place a piece of white paper over the hole at the turbo where the air is dispelled. Run the engine for a few minutes and if you notice any oil occuring/building up on the white papaer, then it is the turbo seal. This method is used on everything from jetskis to dump trucks. If no oil is present then the oil leak will be coming from somewhere else on the engine, and being sucked in through to the top of the intercooler. May have to remove it to see where any other leaks are coming from.

The interior AC and heat vent air input is in the outside lower front windshield area. You could have a leaking valve cover or other leak onto the exhaust system - making oil smoke that is being sent into the car. Generally this is caused by an overheating of the engine and gaskets dry up and let the oil leak onto he engine. LOL

If the leak is actually on the wheel, It's brake fluid, If it coming from anywhere else and leaking onto the outside of the wheel, it can be either the trasmission fluid, oil, or antifreeze.

There is a crankcase vent on top that may be cracked or out of place causing the oil to leak or the upper crankshaft seal may be leaking.

Hi, if the engine is leaking from underneath, its possibly oil pan gasket/ oil drain plug seal/ oil filter o ring needs replacing. The other leak you describe could be the bottom cylinder head gasket, if so the only solution is to replace it. I have this problem on mine, oil weeping from same area. cost would be about

The main front engine oil seal may be leaking oil onto the crankshaft pulley and serpentine belt and causing the problems you describe.

Sounds like your oil leak is finding hot exhaust manifold and smoking/smelling. Make sure the oil filler caps and breather hoses that connect to the valve cover (Top of Engine) are attached securely. Try and determine exactly where the oil leak originates [Valve covers - top side, oil pan - underneath, or shaft seals - front and rear of engine, or left and right ends with the sideways (transverse) engine mounting]. Also check oil level - a blown head gasket or cracked head or block could lose coolant into the oil reservoir, causing an overfilled and thus leaking situation... this will show up as a creamy looking substance on the dipstick. If the engine is not making any other signs of abnormality, strange knocks or clicks, overheating, or losing gross amounts of fluids, make sure it has enough oil in the crankcase and drive it to a reputable mechanic for a true evaluation of the problem.
