Oil leaking from crankcase join

[mccarro]

My 2002 250 txt pro has been leaking oil fr a while from the part of the cases concealed by the swing arm bolt.

I've removed the engine and can see the small leak in the c/case join.

Is it possible to seal this without splitting the cases ?

Because of where it is nothing can sit proud of the surface or it will stop the swing arm bolt sliding through.

Any one had similar problem ?

Thanks

Ello mate.

I had a similar issue on an old rm 250 i had

I did over time split the case and replace the gasket . It stopped the leak , I overhauled the engine so put new case gasket on, But as a get me through i used arldite . Two compounds you mix togther like paste and it dries like metal. might just get a bit in to seal it up.

i can send you some for free as i get kits from work for nowt.

might be worth a try

let me know

Thanks for the reply - I'll give araldite a go or possibly try working a gasket sealer ( blue hermatite) into the joint.
