Motorcycle Repair: oil leak from air cleaner?, atm machine, fxstc


Question
Hi,

I recently tipped over my 99 fxstc while turned off to use an ATM machine. BUMMER!  I caught it and it only broke the clucth lever, but now I have oil leaking while going down the road that spatters all over the air cleaner side of the bike.  I believe the oil is coming from the oil cleaner area. The bike runs fine, but leaks the oil since the tipping over; will it stop or how would I fix this?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Mike S.

Answer
First, you need to find out where the oil is coming from. Clean the bike really good and let it dry. Spray the motor with deoderant that has baby powder in it and run the bike. WHere the oil is leaking the powder will turn black. Let me know where it looks like to oil is coming from
