Have an '86 Spree that is really leaking oil now. Having a hard time telling exactly where but it looks like might be the oil pump. I know there are seals in the pump but I dont know anything more than that. It is running fine. Here are a few pics of the oil leak issue:
Seems to leak these huge puddles of oil like this:
You may have to start pulling stuff off to determine the source. Hopefully it's a loose or fissured hose. I had a drip from a leaking exhaust port at one time - I was sure it was coming from the pump area, but it was just dripping down from above. Yours looks more like a line or seal leak however. That supply line looks awfully close to the headpipe. Maybe feel under there?

Most of my money is spent on scooterparts. The rest is just wasted.

Yeah, don't smell gas but I wondered if the crankshaft seals are worn and leaking. I was also wondering if I can remove the oil pump and inspect the seal on it? Don't think the line is leaking since I just replaced it because of this issue thinking it might be the problem. It does seem almost like oil is backing up from the pump and coming out the top of the line where its connected to the oil tank too. I do need to do further inspection to determine the source of the leak. Yeah, that kickstand wont rust for sure with all that oil on it!
Crankcase leak along with a probably bad oil pump(you can replace the seal that fails in these). Be careful, ca ase leak can and will lean it out and melt the piston. Start taking off covers to find the source.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.
