Clutch cover side oil leak

Got a gpx 160 and on the clutch cover side there is a small oil leak. Take the cover off and at the top right side there is a bolt with washer and that is where the leak is from. What is this???? I would have got pics earlier today but forgot....

Ah cool, I never knew what that connected to inside the motor, just what it did.

Why would it be leaking?

if you go to tighten that bolt, make sure the little spacer in there is slightly bigger so when you go to tourq it down itll still be free and easy movement. Because that shifts slightly when your shifting your bike.

Re: Clutch cover side oil leak

You'd have to have it overfilled, recently laid the bike on that side, or have a pinched breather, to get a leak there.
