Alternator does not work. Oil leaking out of engine.

My alternator does not work on my 1995 750 Magna. I pulled the cover off and the windings came off with the housing. Oil came out of the housing and I am trying to find out if there is a seal that needs replaced. I also would like to know what size threads are on the magnetic rotor to pull it off the shaft. I do not have a manual available.

Send me an email and I will send you a copy of the repair manual in .PDF format. [email protected]

the alternator is supposed to have some oil there. there is supposed to be a gasket on the stator cover. check on ebay for a used alternator or you can buy a new one from the dealer, or go check out the one from electrosport. be sure to check the magna forums for lots of great info.

Just had replace timing belt now oil leak from cover, new seals water pump ? what went wrong

Sounds like the seal either did not get put on right or else it slipped during assembling the front cover back on. If you are concerned about where the leak is coming from you can put dye in the oil and check for a leak with a black light to make sure it is the timing cover leaking.

CAR HAS HUGE OIL LEAK

Valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets and timing cover gaskets are the three major oil leak points. Power wash the engine carefully ( or have a professional do it ) so you can eventually see where the leak or leaks are originating from. If you wash the engine keep away from alternator and wiring connectors.

I have 1994 geo tracker, i have to replace oil pan as it is corroded and leaking oil. Do i have to pull the engine out to remove oil pan or is there another way to do tjhis?

there are 2 ways, and both are here.
pull engine
pull axle
it;s your choice, and covered here and the factory service book too.
depends on tools, (lift?)

way 1
http://www.fixkick.com/axles/Pan-drop/pandrop.html

way 2: (factory way)]
here is the pull page. engine
and last link there is to fsm page on same.

happy trails.
PS
99% of leaking pans, are NOT.
it is :
1: valve cover leaks, (not doing 60k service and not putting in new VC)
2: cam seal leaks.
3: crank seal leaks.
4: the infamous, dizzy 2 o-ring leaks.
5: and doing head rebuild, they forget to read the page on how
to seal the rear cam cap. and bam, it leaks, the FSM covers that.
i can tell you which page.\
and gravity does the rest with help from mr. wind.

if the pan is only rusty, hit it with phosperic acid (ask) and then paint it on car. the PAN is RTV glued to the engine are never leak. (almost)
and are real hard to get them resealed , leak free. so makes sure
it really does leak.

1998 dodge dakota 1998 bad oil leak losing 5 quarts in a month . the oil is on alternator and all over cant find leak any suggestions where to look

Try cleaning the engine with degreaser and hose off the oil and muck. Let the engine dry out and then start the engine and look where the oil is leaking from.
From your description, the oil could be leaking from the tappet cover. May need a new gasket or the tappet cover bolts needs tightening.

How do you check the oil level on a 1983 Honda V45

Center stand your motorcycle. If you have an Interceptor have a friend hold the bike upright. Unscrew the dipstick on the back of the right engine cover. Part #4. http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/1983-honda-vf750c-magna/o/m11968#sch558483 Wipe off the dip stick and place it back into the opening but do not screw it in. Pull the dip stick out and make sure the oil level is between the high and low mark. If the level is low add only JASO MA certified motorcycle oil designed to work in engines with transmission gears and wet clutches.

Replace rear main seal in engine

To do this job, you pull the trans, and frywheel. Rear main seal is fairly UNcommon. Most oil leaks wind up manifesting in the rear main seal area. Check other areas first, like valve cover and intake gaskets.

Overheating, milky oil, oil in coolant...Please help!

Well, the good news is this could be something as simple as a blown head gasket. The bad news is most likely that is not the case. You have either cracked your block, cracked the head, worn a hole in your timing chain cover that is allowing the water and oil to mix or blown your head gasket or a combination of these problems. Your choices are to pull everything apart and magna Flux the Engine block and heads or replace the motor, assuming the issue isn't a hole worn in the timing chain cover, or replacing the motor, the easiest of the solutions although not the cheapest. A decent short block should run around $600 to $1000 with shipping. It's used but has been checked and should serve you for a while. The other option is rebuilding the motor. Should you choose to rebuild the motor I recommend you get the Haynes or Chilton's repair manual on your vehicle for doing the job.
