banshee crank seals

[the skin doctor]

Don't ride it. You'll seize the engine. You got to get that fixed.

By the sound of your post I question as to if its really the crank seal your talking about. Usually a leaking crank seal causes a performance and/or overheating problem because your bikes lean. Is what your seeing an oil leak from around the tranny output shaft (behind the front sprocket)? If it's not the crank seal you would probably be OK running it if you keep the oil up and you stay out of the creeks :biggrin: but fix it as soon as you can and replace ALL the seals at that time.

I think he may be talking about the right crank seal. And if it is bad it will burn the oil out of the tranny case. And if this is so it will make it run like shit on the right cause it is burning so much oil. If it was mine i wouldn't ride it.

You can suck air through the right crank seal and cause a lean burn on that cylinder.

 

MELT DOWN!!!!

You definately need to make sure what is leaking first before you decide if you are going to fix it right away. I agree with the above and not ride it 'til you fix it, that way you wont regret it.................. :beer:
