spree oil pump leaking

Post by bbrmotosports »

I have a clear oil line from the pump to intaki Mani. After it sits for a day I've noticed the oil in the line seeps back. The line is only halfway full. I plan on blocking it off at some point but has anyone else had this happen?

This could be the clear oil line hardening with age and losing the seal due to it's loss of plasticity. I'd recommend replacing the line.

all lines were replace. I ditched the oil pump now anyways. But it was caused from the vent on the oil tank cap being plugged.
