Oil Leaks. Oil leaks are the most common symptom of a defective lawnmower crankcase breather. Over time, filters may become clogged with dust and other debris, which restricts airflow and allows pressure to build. This leads to blown seals and gaskets, causing oil leaks. After cleaning the crankcase breather, the blown seal or gasket will have ...

Re: Lower Crankshaft seal bad?? On a 2-stroke the crancase is a part of the air/fuel mix flow's way to the combustion chamber. If not tight the cylinder will not fill/exhaust properly which will lead to reduced perfomance and other running related issues.

Strange, however, that no oil or fuel is visible as the crancase pressure would force a little amount out if the seal is not tight?

Even if the seal were 99.5 percent perfect -- which it isn't -- the crankcase might still pressurize to about 1 psi. This pressure encourages oil leaks through the gaskets and contributes to air pollution by sending a constant stream of untreated oil vapor steaming out of the engine's breather cap.

I had a leaky right crank seal on my 03 YZ250 a few years ago. There was an unbelievable amount of spooge running all the way down the silencer and splattered all over the swingarm.

0. Nov 14, 2004. #2. If the crank seal is bad on the transmission side ( which I think is what you are asking ) transmission oil will be sucked into the crankcase and burned. This should be obvious as the bike will be producing loads of smoke even when properly warmed up, and the oil level in the transmission will noticably reduce.

Location. South America. Jun 22, 2003. #3. While sitting unused (not running) the oil can seep into the crank (past the right crank seal) which causes a lot of smoke to exit the tailpipe for the first few minutes after starting it. While its running you'll be getting more oil to the engine parts but it won't change the jetting (rich/lean).

The only thing in there is two inner crank seals, two bearings for the rotary shaft, the rotary shaft and gear and a rotary shaft oil seal. You could try running some 90/140 gear oil and see if that slows down the leak but you would have to disconnect if from the oil tank and would be a mess trying to burn that out of the crankcase if the leak ...

If the crank seal is bad, it will be transferring oil from the transmission side to the crank case. So one way to check is measure the trans fluid when you change it. If it's less than what you put in, and you have no other leaks, it's likely the seal. The bike will also smoke alot more because of the excess oil in the crankcase.
