Default Re: Engine discolouration and oil leak

Perhaps the wash has exposed the corrosion sitting under the black paint. so long as your bike has been ridden on UK roads in the winter, it will have been exposed to salt.

Oil leaks don't come from the carbs, except for a bit of blow back into the airbox, but we're talking minute amounts
