two more Ducs & two questions

[cdc]

I'm sure you've thought about this but I vote you take the opportunity to rebuild both forks with race tech gold valve kit if it's possible for a non adjustable fork.  Hey, you blew the seal in the first place.  It was destiny, just sayin'.  

750s didn't come originally with oil coolers so I hope the threads aren't stripped.  That said, could they just be loose?  Or just from the oil filler cover?

Oops, I should have said older M750s didn't come with an oil cooler and that it is possibly an add-on but since it is a 2002, I could be wrong.   I just checked an oil line that I had and it does have seals.  There were two "O" ring seals on the part of the oil line that enters the engine case on one end and onto the oil cooler on the other end.  The part of the line that screws the line in place on both ends does not have an oil seal.  If these "O" rings were nicked during install or were not installed cleanly, that could be the source of the leak.  Although I have not replaced these seals myself, I have to believe they are replaceable.  Check with your local hose supplier but you may have to bring your oil line with you.  Time it when you have to do an oil change.

Which of the two hoses are leaking?  If it is the one that crosses the cam belt covers, you could take the opportunity to replace it with one that is longer and wraps around the other side of the engine and up between the cylinders a la the HyperMotard.  Actually, you could just buy the HyperMotard oil line but it may be cheaper to have one made.  I'm not sure about that.  The HyperMotard's line is about $100+.  Hope that helps.

the leak is coming from the line that crosses the belt covers.  I will check with AMS Tuesday, thanks.  If they knock the cover off the ball I'm going to an automotive store with line in-hand.
