Yeah Jack, one of your fork tube plugs is leaking. Replace the o-rings
on them (if you haven't done so already) and re-tighten. Had the same
problem on my Ambo about a year ago.

On the Eldo, when run hard on the highway and usually only in hot weather, a small amount of oil appearson the (white) tank in front of the gas filler ... never very much and I just wipe it off. However, I can't figure where it is coming from. First I thought it was steering head bearing lube but now I'm thinking it may come from the speedo cable. Is it possible for tranny lube to migrate up the cable and seep out under the speedo? If so, how do I stop it? This is not a big deal, but when running along mindlessly on the highway this becomes my focus. Any suggestions? |
