Oil Pump Cover leaking

[Simply.Smooth]

My 99 r6 is leaking oil from the cover area and is coming out of the 2 allen key bolts at the bottom .. I guess this means i would need to replace the gasket ?? I tighten everything back up and still minor slow leak but getting on my shoes when I'm riding

Your oil pump is inside your engine cases, are you sure your referring to the correct part? Possibly you mean water pump

Or stator cover maybe? Maybe the pickup coil cover?

Here is the service manual for your bike: http://likestuff.globat.com/99-02R6_Service_Manual.pdf

When I refer to "left hand" and "right hand" I'm pretending you're sitting on the seat

Left hand side of the engine, stator cover (2):


Right hand side of the engine, at the front, ignition pickup cover (4):


Right hand side of the engine, in the middle, clutch cover (3):


Right hand side of the engine, below clutch cover, water pump (5):


Pics would help tons

No probs, glad I could help. If the bike has been dropped the cover is probably warped just slightly. Sometimes using double gaskets will help, but I don't recommend it.

Remove the cover with the bike on it's side stand after it's sat for a while (overnight), there will be almost no oil in the ignition pickup cover area. Remove the gasket and clean all the bits of it off, from both parts (the engine block, and the cover). Once it's totally clean, like 100% cleaned with alcohol, not even a spec of oil remaining on the gasket area, use this stuff: http://bit.ly/AbhosT

Follow the directions. Apply a small, even bead, let it set up for a bit, screw the cover down just barely snug hand tight, let it set up overnight, then torque it to factory specs. I guarantee it won't leek after that

(P.S. If you've got the ignition cover off anyway, now would be a good time to drop in a +4 ignition advance rotor from Factory Pro )

Do not use that crap Loctite 515 flange sealant is your friend little tiny bead tighten the bolts and you are done. No set up time no leaks ever. I have been using this for years it is expensive but you will never look at RTV again after using it.

Rtv does it's job if you let it setup. That locyitke stuff is very good but pricy I have to admit I like it.
