I have a quandary? Just finished a nice long ride on the Eldo - warm
weather. I kept getting oil deposits on the front of the tank, just below
the upper triple clamp. I suspect it may be tranny lube. Could this be
finding its way up the inside of the speedo cable? Where the heck else could
it be from? Assuming it is from the tranny via the speed cable, what's the
fix? Under what circumstances could engine oil appear at this location. I'm
puzzled.
