Re: [ST] oil drip

[Nicolas Nowak <nnowak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did you tighten up your chain recently?  On my RS, I can induce a small oil
leak from the output shaft seal by ever so slightly over tightening the
drive chain.  The leak goes away if I slacken the chain a bit, or if I am
lazy, wait for it to stretch out enough.
