2012 Speedmaster Oil Leak

Hi Good people of the Triumph forum.

As a newbie at this biking, I wonder if you can help me by taking a look at the attached picture of an oil leak on my 2012 speedmaster. Is this an easy fix for me to do? I was wondering if it was just a case of taking this cover off and replacing a gasket or something? As i dont know what it is and what lies behind it, I don't want to go ahead and bits spring out all over the place. Any info muchly apreaciated.

Cool I will have a look tomorrow evening, let you know then what I find.

 

Thanks, that no fling spray glue you mentioned, is it pale white looking? As that was the colour on my chain when I got the bike.

 

Cheers for that, I will give it a go, should look better too as it looks a bit strange white.

 

You were bang on with this guys !! Some orible stuff behind there, I guess when the bike heats up it then runs out, looking like an oil leak. Many thanks to everyone !!

 

On another subject Dilligaf, I came accross a post of yours on the rear shocks being a tad hard, mine is the same, how have you got on with your new ones long term bud?

 

Thats nice to know, I will look into it.

 

Funny you should say that as when i got the bike it has these pipes already fitted, they sound nice but I have no idea what make they are. It also came with the orignals too.

 

The end caps look like they just slip over but have a couple of little tack welds underneath where you can't see them.

 

On the end caps Dilligaf ?

 

Hi Dilli
They are the same oval shape as the end cap, just had a look and there isn't any markings at all on the end caps, maybe someone was a bit skilled with metal work.
