I have a 2001 yamaha vstar 1100 and it has the oil filter relocator. It's leaking where the lines go to the filter. Should all I have to do is tighten these??

I hear loose cover bolts was a common problem. Here's what I've come across.

Don't think it's a bolt. I have the ORK installed on it and it's coming from the line that connects to the plate the oil filter screws on to

Likely is the line has come loose try to tighten, without applying too much torque. I'll ask my buddy tonight not sure if he has the ORK on his vstar. Thankfully the oil filter on the roadstar 1700 I have is much better placement..

OK I'd appreciate it. I'm running to the parts store now to get a filter and some oil.
