Xciting 500 / Re: Persistent oil leak in 2010 Xciting 500ri

Hello sissy mary,
Thanks for your quick reply. I'm sorry, I guess I should have been more specific. The oil appears to be leaking from under the plastic crankcase cover seam on the left side of the scooter, if that makes any sense. My bike was a new old stock bike. I bought it brand new in 1212, yet it's a 2010 model. Actually the warranty just expired. It was serviced under the warranty, and they still couldn't make heads or tail why it leaked. All they kept telling me was that it was an oil seal problem. BTW, the leak started at the end of the riding season last year, which for me is around October-November (I live in northern Illinois).
Well I hope this information helps. What you wrote certainly makes sense to me. I'll try anything at this point, because other than that the bike has been great.
Again, thank-you.
