Flame away for not using the search to find my answer...but i am not finding a clear answer anywhere.

I have come close with this one...  http://www.thumperta..._1#entry9997799

I am pretty certain it is not coming from the tensioner.  If I sit and run it standing up, I have oil coming from the lower 3 or 4 cooling fins on the engine.  I can ride for one mile and I have oil all over the side of my case and dripping off the bottom.  So I was contemplating getting some of these crush washers to replace.  Start with the cheap easier stuff first...as I am poor as hell...  But my question is this...Where do I find a part number for these dang things.  I was looking on bike bandit and all I can find are parts called gaskets.  Nothing with a copper crush in a description.

Any Ideas?

Those 'gaskets' are the crush washers. Instead of throwing parts at it why not figure out exactly where the leak is and focus your efforts in the right place from the start?

Here's what to do:
Clean the motor thoroughly. Get some spray-on foot powder and put a light coat of powder all around the suspected area. Run the motor until you see the first signs of leakage. The spray powder will make even the smallest drop of leaking oil plainly visible.

I can do that I suppose.  But I want to make sure I am looking at the right dang things when I am looking up parts.  The bike has 6000 miles on it and should not be just spitting out oil like this.  I got a new job 30 miles from home and decided to make it my commuter...first day oil is freaking everywhere.  I was not a happy camper last night.

This is the schematic I should be looking at...right?

That's the right image for the oil lines. Oil leaks at the lines are not common. It's much more likely to be the tensioner gasket. If it is the oil lines you could probably stop the leak by tightening up the bolts a little bit.

Thanks...I will get it cleaned and dried and check it out.

Ok...so I have it narrowed down to the cam tension error gasket.  My question now is...do I have to remove oil lines to remove that thing?  I need to get parts ordered.
