Oil Leak on 17 A

by ali sleiman
We had agood day today, in addition to few successes, I found the source of leak . The oil is leaking from around the compression lever. On this machine it sit high on the right side of the big engine. The oil run down the area of the block behind the air filter. also found another leak if from the oil pressure gauge line.
These 2 problem are easy fixes:cool:

That's a hell of a lot easier than dealing with the flange gasket:D 
Thought you had already looked for the obvious sources as mentioned early on in the posts.
The decompression shaft seal is a 7B280
