oil line leak, changing gaskets question

[zacharkins]

ok so my rappy is leaking a small amount of oil from the lil line illustrated in the oil pump drawings #20 at the top seal,  i bought new gaskets for it and believe that this will fix the problem i am also going to do an oil and filter change at the same time,  is there any precautianery(sp)    things to look out for or is it as simple as it looks?    just loosen up bolt remove old gaskets and replace with new gaskets and tighten bolt back up.


thanks a lot in advance for the help!

shouldn't be too difficult, just was looking in my manual. "oil delivery pipe"

Has a nut, gasket, and copper washer. Try not putting all the oil in, just in case it is still leaking. Run for a little bit, not alot. If not leaking throw the rest in.

ya thats a good idea,    so you dont think i need any special grease or oil or anything on the copper washers?

[Peelz]

not that I am aware of, unles there is something wrong wioth the case or the connection. Which you will find out when you put it back on.

Just make sure all surfaces are clean when reinstalling everything and don't overtighten on the copper washer.

obviously like i said i changed them with no problems and my small leak is still there.   looks like its the top seal of the motor that has the small leak          


im think im just gonna leave it til i find someone close by to help me who has more experience!          damn
