Hello everyone. I am new to this website and I'll start off with some needed help with an oil leak. I have a 2006 XB9SX and it decided to pull a Harley and start leaking oil. I was hoping you guys could help me figure where it's coming from. The oil seems like it is coming from the hole with the wire coming out.

That is the ign pick up cover the seal is most probably bad behind the little cam lobe, IIRC there is a small clip that holds it on not sure if you have to pull the cover to replace the seal. | ||

Getting the factory shop manual is a good idea. | ||

There's a post sometime back in this section with how to fix it without removing the cover. The manual will have you remove the cover, but it can be done without. I did it without removing myself. | ||

I found it in my service manual. The exploded view is on page 4-96. It says to drill out the pop rivets on the cover, unbolt the cover under that, take out the cam shaft sensor, and the seal looks to be under that. Hopefully that helps. | ||

Get some leak dye from Advanced Auto and a blacklight. Makes finding leak source easy. It's like $7 for a bottle of the dye and you can borrow the light from someone. College kids and stoners always have them  |
