I have an old motorcycle that has an oil leak somewhere on the cylinder could a pin hole be repaired on it?

My experience with older bikes ';especially metrics'; says that your leak is more than likely the cause of a bad gasket either valve cover or jug base gasket. either one is not hard to replace but it will take a little time and you should have a repair manual handy for the sequence and specs for your bike. You can pick up a manual at www.themotorbookstore.com for a reasonable price.I have an old motorcycle that has an oil leak somewhere on the cylinder could a pin hole be repaired on it?
Do like the ';themechanic1128'; said. Find out where the leak is before doing any work. Clean the engine thoroughly with ';engine degreaser';. You can get it at any auto parts store. Then douse the suspected area with white baby powder. The leak will show up easier.I have an old motorcycle that has an oil leak somewhere on the cylinder could a pin hole be repaired on it?
first of all, what kind of ';old motorcycle'; do you have? and is it an oil leak or air leak? give a little more info....
If the leak is on the face of the cylinder then no , chances are it's not cost effective. most cycles have removable cylinders so just replace the bad cylinder. It's more likely that you have a bad gasket somewhere that is the source of your oil leak, check closely before you spend money on a what could be a cheap fix.
id start by buying a seal kit for a complete overhaul.take the time to remove all cxover and market and sort neatly all screws and prts.then replace all the gaskets and all fluids.of corse have a manuel to help to assist u along the way also provides a better way of remove and installation of gaskets and parts .good luck.
Are really sure it is a pin hole and not a gasket problem?
