seeping oil from behind front sprocket
my 1998 kdx 200 has oil seeping onto the garage floor from behind the front sprocket. when the sprocket pressed on, it appears that oil pushes out. it is dripping onto the chain then onto the floor. my father in law thinks i have a bad countershaft seal. is this correct? what should i be doing to fix this? i also searched the forum to no avail....thanks in advance.

seeping oil from behind front sprocket
In the Fall, I got sick of the leaking, and replaced the countershaft o-ring and the seal. And it held for 6+ months. Well it started leaking AGAIN this Summer.
So this time I replaced the (2) O-rings, the seal, the bushing, and the sprocket clip. Getting the sprocket clip on was not fun. I then test rode the bike, the leak stopped, and I parked the bike ... then it started leaking again a few days later. Very frustrated.
Also, I checked my chain tension and it was within specification and not too tight.
Are both O-rings supposed to go into the recess on the bushing???

Re: seeping oil from behind front sprocket
Yea. Both O rings seat into there. Is it leaking from between the collar and oil seal? Or through the O rings inside the collar?
