[QUOTE="Rob H, post: 96636, member: 1913"] Not sure what that smell like, but the gear box oil is going down and also I used Red ATF in the primary side and this has changed colour to a dirty brown/green ish. Never thought about engine oil but oil consumption is low on the bike. On the gear box I made a wood dowel dip stick and marked the levels on this to match the original bike dipstick. This allows easy identification of the level and also how much lower it is also. It was about 1.5 - 2.0 cms low. The primary side was up over the bottom run of the chain. I don't think it would be through the plate as this looked pretty well sealed and has not been disturbed since the rebuild by Bob Dunn, not sure about the dowl though. [/QUOTE]
