Honda Quad leaking oil!

Skuxx · 2010-04-27 21:02:41

I have a Honda Foreman 450 ES which AFAIK is leaking oil from the head although that is just a guess! Its clearly leaking oil but I don't exactly know where from, I will attach some pics!! If anyone knows how big a fix it would be that would be great!!

Looks like the tappet cover is leaking.
It might just need a new gasket or the bolts tightened, did you have someone service the valves recently?

^ What he said. The amount that is leaking is miniscule.

Check that the 10mm (I would guess that is their size) bolts either side of the plug lead are tight and the ones on the opposite side too and you should be grand.
