Sweat oil ?
« on: January 07, 2007, 08:02:33 PM »
What does sweat oil look like ?
I've just noticed a bit of watered down oil coming from the drive side, inside the sprocket near the axle.

Cheers

Yep, that's what it looks like, nothing to worry about.

Bit odd though. What causes it and why, does anyone know ?

I was hoping you’d get proper engineers reply, I’d be interested to know.  I understand that complete leak proof seals can be made, but they cause more problems than they solve.
For now I'm just happy to accept it's not a problem.
