Oil tank leaking at seam!!!!!!!!

[MORAPTOR700]

Have any of you guys experienced your oil tank leaking at the seam. It looks to be coming from the right side at half way on the tank down to the bottom. Is this a common problem or not. I know I've seen a aftermarket polished tank or should I go back with stocker. Whats you guys opinion. DO ANY OF YOU GUYS KNOW WHO makes THAT POLISHED tank.  Thanks

never seen that!!! Absolutely sure it is not dripping from an oil line?

[MORAPTOR700]

Yes         The oil started about half way down on the seem on the right side of the tank and continued around coroner to the bottom middle of the tank. I first noticed oil on my skid plate also I thought I may have dripped oil from adjusting the valves but a closer inspection of the tank revealed what I discribed above. I did put a paper towel under the tank and warmed it up to see if I have any drips in the morning.

yikes, that is a weird one. I would get an aluminum one, assuming the price isn't too much more than stocker.

i'm sure Daniel can hook you up

But would it hurt to try some JB weld?  I fixed a leaky radiator with it

Just a good excuse to get a good aftermarket one

Well good news don't have to buy any new parts. I guess when I took the exhaust valve cover off some oil dripped onto the oil tank and thats what the oil was. I took the raptor out yesterday to try out the new paddles before LS in OK and I had no oil after that and I did run it pretty hard on the paddles. Little disapointed in the paddles as I thought they would hook up better but they worked. Know just waiting for the raptor rally at Little Sahara in OK.

what kind of paddles did you go with

what kind of paddles did you go with

First off I bought them off craiglist and got a good deal $100.00. I got ITP polished wheels and the tires are Kenda Gecko Plus and they look brand new. I figured that I would be a little underpowered with a stock 700 and 15t front sprocket but I'm not.

You stole em'

that's a great deal!
