Hi guys.
i was doing about 80 today on the highway on my 72 cb750 and when i tried to move my feet to the back pegs, they felt slippery... I looked down and indeed... wet with oil. i pulled over and checked the dipstick... wasn't dry - saw some oil down there in the bottom of the reservoir - but it damn near was. tire wall was wet with oil. fender was coated in oil. so were both rear pegs. and the chain and the swing arm. Lost a whole quart! Any idea what the most likely culprit here is?
Putting around town at local speeds and when parked, i never see a drop coming out of this bike. very clean.
 
Where is the oil coming from? Gonna have to do some investigation and find where the source is. Shouldnt be hard look for the furthest point forward that is wet.
