oil leak

#1 PostAuthor: big green bus » Tue Jun 10, 2008 7:05 pm

one of the gpz1100's has a oil leak from the cam chain tunnel at the front. it is from above the base gasket but not the head. it must have a crack somewhere but i cannot find it. it will not leak untill under load, but the wind blows the oil all over. i have been told that there is something i can put in the oil that will highlight the crack under uv light. anybody know anything about it.
