Engine Leak Detection

Athlete’s foot spray powder is very useful for leak detection.  It is sticky so it stays on the engine until hosed off.

Clean the engine.

Spray athlete’s foot powder all around the suspected leak source.

Start engine

Let engine warm up while bike remains stationary

Riding the bike will blow the leaky fluid all over the place which makes finding the source very difficult.

Eventually while the bike is running in place the leak will manifest itself.

Follow the leaking liquid trail up through the white athlete’s foot powder to the source.

Hose the powder off (It's easy and all of it flows off with a bit of water)

Fix the leak.

Tinactin powder spray is the best for leak detection.  It is the stickiest.  Make sure to the label specifies Tinactin _Powder_.
