If you had oil dripping from your exhaust, whats your first thought?

"heh, that's weird. I wonder where it's coming from."

[TwiztedRabbit]

it can mean that if you have changed the oil recently that you over filled it... the simpliest and easiest to fix

[oldschoolsdime92]

i know the valve seals are alittle leaky, as it smokes a touch on start up

[Uncle Punk]

Might that be the rings?

Comression is 140-160psi across all four with about 4-7% leakdown.

Dirty air filter. If the pistons can't draw air during intake prior to compression, they will try to draw oil instead. They have to pull something into the cylinder. Your plugs would look oiled or fouled, of course, if oil is making it past the exhaust valves and actually dripping out the tail pipe. I'd at least look at the plugs to see if it's all of them or just one or something.

Worst case is a cracked head, letting oil from the gallery above, into the exhaust port passage. It would get blown out as oil, having never been in the cylinder. If the pipes were disconnected from the head, it would be real obvious. It should be dry soot in the exhaust passages, and a crack would leave it oil wet and building up carbon fast.

Maybe someone poured oil in your exhaust when you were looking away.

[oldschoolsdime92]

i wish that were the case!

[garysol1]

How do the plugs look? Are they all oily or just one......or none?

[oldschoolsdime92]

You're on a roll, Don. For your sake, I hope he has small hands too?

[garysol1]

I hope you pulled the plugs to do the compression and leak down tests.....

TwiztedRabbit had oil shooting out of his exhaust last year. It turned out to be the head gasket? There are vertical oil passages under pressure on most bikes, very close to the cylinder bores. Honda 4cyls used to be notorious for leaking there on the head gasket.

But his was pumping out, you're is dripping. Which is why I don't think oil under pressure. Thinking at worst, it's a crack in the head. But seriously, a head gasket would be cheaper to fix.

That thread showed up at the bottom of your thread, as a similar.

Which reminded me of that.

140s across the board.

Sounds like the oil pump is over oiling the muffler bearing? Or the bearing is worn out so there is less of a bearing to oil resulting in excess oil that isn't needed being released through the tail pipe.
