For everyone interested, here is the link to purchase the custom oil pan gasket! www.motomillion.com/products/ducati-panigale-v4-streetfighter-v4-custom-oil-pan-gasket
A quality Ducati Mechanic is a must when owning a Ducati! Well Done and I wish you were in my area. Just because you throw a lot $$$ at something does not mean it won't have issues. Mechanics make ownership a dream or a nightmare.
Once we test the gasket under riding conditions, we can truly confirm if it fixed our issue completely. After that, we'll make this available for you guys! Let us know if this gasket is something you'd be interested in picking up 🙏
I seldom agree with the verbalized thought processes of TH-camrs, but I’m always on the same page while you explain things. You tend to simply make good sense. I’m finally curious why you changed 2 things at once on this one. In any experiment, you change one variable to prove what changes a result. At the end of the day, your upgrade gasket solution PROBABLY solves the issue no matter the cause. I will probably buy one even though I don’t yet have the problem. I believe in the solution. However, with both variables changed, we still don’t really know if you had an imperfect pan, or block. It’s a LOT of work to change, but might have been worth one more attempt with gasket maker to possibly prove a faulty pan. $.02.
The pan we checked on with a straight edge, couldn’t find imperfections. The block is a little harder to check. But at least we know either or this solves the problem. Also new pan because the old one got scratched a tiny bit.
Great work mate. Sometimes it's better and easier to just fix issues yourself not to mention satisfying for those of us that enjoy working on bikes. 👍👍
These kind of gaskets are the best. I 3D printed my own for a leaking gas tank tap and to rebuild 4 carbs on an old bike of mine I bought to restore and so far theyre awesome and you can reuse them. For something like the oil pan in the video that requires so many bolts with a somewhat high torque spec, soft metals like a multi layered copper sheet gasket could work wonders. Cheers, keep the good contet up :D
As a former mechanic since the 80s, I only have faith in gaskets. i watched over many years the gasket was used less and less in favour for liquid silicone or type substances. Its ok if the surface has a true mated match on no runout.. But you cant beat a real physical textile gasket, as it allows for imperfections and vibrations, heat expansion and a slight porous surface. I have a cutter plotter and a 3D printer that allows me to use fusion 360 to reproduce such items my self.
Soo gutted u gotta do this on a brand new bike twice! Did u check the case and block with a straight edge and feeler guages for warping? Fair play to u for not crying and to just getting on with it. Great content as always!❤
Thank you. Yes it looks straight with a straight edge. Ducati has had some problems with porous magnesium castings, maybe that was the case for the old oil pan?
Going back in time I bought a Ducati 916 second edition new and leaving the showroom on my lovely new bike 12 miles up the road oil warning light so pulled in and belly pan was full of oil. So called up the dealer and they came and picked up the bike and lucky that there was no oil on the rear tyre. So was fixed and was good after that other than electrical problems.
I'd love to buy one of these. I have a few track days and will be cleaning off the pickup screen this winter. A plastic razor blade might be a better tool than a red pad on a 1/4" impact.
We used the plastic razor blade first. But as mentioned in the video the pad does not remove any metal material as it was tested on the oil pan we took off first. The gasket can be found in this link : www.motomillion.com/products/ducati-panigale-v4-streetfighter-v4-custom-oil-pan-gasket
My Panigale V2 leaks oil too. Engine cover area. Dealer resealed it under warranty, but I found it leaking again. Knew I should have went for one of the reliable big Japanese 4.. Or the BMW..
I’m surprised that didn’t fix it. Mine was fixed by the Ducati dealer under warranty, obviously using the same procedure and product that you would have used, and I’ve done six days on track since then with no issues (so far). Liquid gaskets do seem popular but I guess you can’t beat a ‘real’ gasket. It would be quite a coincidence for the leaks to have come from the same place. I’ve not heard of others having this issue apart from yourself (and Jaret hasn’t published anything about this on his Lambo SF, unless I’ve missed it).
@@Motomillion I hadn’t gone through the comments on that video but I just did so and saw one other SP2 owner who said he had the same fault - other talk of oil leaks seemed to be generalised or 1199. Hopefully these are isolated issues
Can't wait for that video to drop even though it's bad news, but at least it will be an educational video & a heads-up to all Ducati bike owners to be on the lookout for that oil issue.
Great video! I have a question. When you came back the day after, I noticed that the oil inspection glass had oil to the top, higher than the two lines mentioned. Is it so that you should messure the oil after the engine has been running, or is it measured cold, when most of the oil is in the belly pan?
I don't skateboard, but I do wakesurf and wakeboard. The board is from our friends skate shop. Greater Miami Skate Shop. We bought a board at their grand opening to show them support. Trying to find a nice way to display it in our shop.
They are not. It is for sure under warranty, but I would rather fix it myself. Especially since I am OCD and do not want a single scratch or a marred bolt.
I think you might have too much oil for two reasons, first one the oil should be checked with the bike level not on a rear stand, and second before you drain the initial oil and after you did everything and refilled it the entire site glass was completely full. I used to have a 2017 Panigale R and mine had a similar issue accept it leaked from the head gasket when I would really push and it would get hot and it ended up being to much oil.
I believe if you watch the video on minutes 4:54 he also had a lot of oil before change anything. You are correct is full the glass after when he did the last check.
The bike is off the stand where we check it. The site glass was full in the initial fill, then we started the bike and the sight glass went empty. It say for 1 hour, sight glass still empty. This means the pump, filled out the voids like the oil cooler etc that we drained. Now bike has the proper level of oil, after we topped it off to the correct level. It is all in the video.
You are right but in the last part of the video where you check for oil leaks and after you did the last oil level topup the oil level should be in between the lines but you sight glass is still full and I know you mentioned in a different comment that the level should be checked when the bike is warm but in this case i dont think its right
I'd take it to the dealership. Regardless of whether it's the oil pan or engine case, it''ll be on them to fix it under warranty. I once knew a guy that bought a new KTM 1190 RC8. Long story short, an issue with it was serious enough that KTM decided to replace the entire engine instead of fixing it. It took a while to get the bike back. The guy was making payments on a bike he couldn't ride.
On a glance, it also looks like you've overfilled the oil? saw your oil sight glass in the beginning and it's filled to the top. Should only be half way on the oil sight glass (when on bike stand, not kick stand) overfilling the oil could lead to these kinds of leak
Thats the first fill before we ran the bike to fill the filter and the emptied out oil cooler. Once we started and ran the bike and the bike was left to cool down for an hour the sight glass was again empty. We has to add more to bring the oil to correct level.
Important!!! Ducati Bolts are often Oneway Bolts!! That is the reason why your Dealer gave you new bolts to your Order!! The Bolts length wenn you tiden up then!!!
We know. They are called stretch bolts. But getting oil pan bolts with a new bike and later on the bike developing a leak is what we were drawing attention to. All a coincidence.
A side from the oil leak , question for you the Ducati that's has the oil leak I've been looking for the slip on exhaust like what is on that bike where did you buy those , I would like to buy those as well , and where is your location
I'm also looking for a Honda rvt 1000rr I don't care what kind of shape it's in as long as it's all their , if you know anyone or anything let me know , I thinking of doing a build vfr 800 pulling the 800 and install the rvt motor
I may have missed it, but how long did you allow the silicone to cure? My understanding is that it requires at least 24 hours. I recently had one of mine serviced (not for leaks) and resealed with no issues.
With the silicone adhesive the bike actually sat for 1 week with no oil in it before we filled it up and turned it on. But yes we are aware of the cure time, we would have let it sit for 24 hours minimum but it sat for more than that, so the curing is not an issue. Also the leak was from the same exact spot again meaning it could not have been an error caused by fixing it since it is so hard to replicate a leak from the exact same spot.
never ever use those abrasive cutters those will make the surface uneven ,allways use a carbie scraper cleaner that will keep the sirfaces flat and straight and they will make your job easier and faster in the long run and keep the leaks away
The cutter is extremely soft, does not remove any metal at all, all cross hatch marks are still visible. We tested it on the old belly pan before we went onto the bike. The cutter is a very very soft scouring pay by 3M.
@@Motomillion I use to use those on car parts when I would install and it causes oil leaks like what u had , I stop using those now all I use is a carbie snap on scraper keeps things flat and straight , and I have never had a leak since
A little off topic but are 520 chains really strong enough for modern 200+ HP bikes? Some of the 520 chains only show that they are made for max 150hp.
The Sp2 comes with a 520 chain, we are still changing the sprocket and chain setup to a lighter one. As long as you are using the correct chain, the 520 will work with bikes of such power.
Were you able to see where the oil was crossing the silicone?? Was it a case of the silicone rubbing off and creating a void that it could seep through or is it crossing over the silicone??? (if its crossing the silicone they need to revisit the torque spec but if its a void being created, then there is some vibration that is destroying the material and you putting a metal one in there will solve it for sure...) IMHO.... :-P
@@Motomillion If its a spot on the pan where its creating a pressure point or its loose and creates a friction point I would guess its possible....it could also be that the sight glass is creating a vibration point that is somehow creating an issue?? LOL. I have no idea. I am guessing the metal gasket has more mass than just a silicone seal and thats what stops the issue....as long as both surfaces are smooth and you are able to torque the bolts properly, that should have sealed it completely, so it has to be something else causing the leak....either vibration or coming from somewhere else... oil will do strange things...
@@Motomillion one was due to replacing the waterpump and they didn’t seal it properly but there is still a slight leak from a different area. I need to pin point it and will let you know.
Unfortunately, the Ducati do not admit their mistakes officially. And working under the Germans didn't fix it. On my Diavel of 2015, on a run of 15,000 km, the crankshaft destroyed the engine. Representatives of Ducati refused to repair under warranty, saying that there were no revocable moments. Although in an informal conversation, a crankshaft defect was recognized. In that 2020, in the Ducati service, a lot of the Deavel and a Multistrada were under repair with the same problem. Italians don't have the same conscience as the Japanese)
If this reliability issues occurred on japanese bikes the internet will be full of hate and angry comments followed by people refusing to patronise the brands but somehow when it comes to European bikes the internet just makes excuses for them and promote the ownership. So weird
@@Motomillion So true....glad you (a 🏍️ Wizard) can walk "US" through this ...even though Ducati s not in my budget....this would drive me insane.... Great job 👍 fixing it.... Ducati should hire you....
No doubt that this particular model is one of the nicest bike in the market but I wouldn’t waste my time or money. No one should have to go through what you are going through after spending all that money on a brand new bike. On top of that it hasn’t even been pushed hard on a track for 10 to 15 laps . I enjoy working and fixing bikes that leak and have minor issues but on a bike that’s already pretty much old 10 to 15,000 miles and maybe 5 to 10 years old. So again, no one should have to go through this after spending so much money on a brand new expensive machine. If this is something that occurred after at least 10k and a few years of owning it, ok but brand new….. naaaaa I rather stick with my R1M and it’s the second one I own and never had any issues like this and I ride my bike on the track four times a month. And we are pushing. I say this because at least twice a month you will see a Ducati leaking oil and we help them out and I always said to myself I will never spend all that money on this bike.
For a 40,000 euro motorcycle oil leak is not acceptable in any ways period!!!…i own a gsxr 600 2012 model with 43.000 km on the clock….i repeat 11 year old bike…not even a drop of oil leak!!!!
Did you really use a Cresent/adjustable wrench on a Ducati oil line? And then you pounded off the aluminum oil sump pan with a hammer and screwdriver? No wonder you have oil leaks!! Also the red scotch bright abrasive pads are very abrasive and will remove metal, try the much less abrasive blue pads for removing the sealant. Come on man, you can be a better mechanic than that; you wouldn't be touching my $$ Ducati with your Crescent wrench and hammer/screwdriver/chisel combo; You're not working on a $600 used 1985 Honda!
It is not the oil line, and it was the stahlbus drain valve that was being replaced. There is no way to get the sump off from the dowels without a mallet, it is a mallet and not a hammer. The pad is not "Scotch Brite" but another 3M product, we did test it on the oil pan that came off, and it did not remove any metal, and this is what the 3M rep recommended as well. All cross hatch marks on the oil pan are still there. The oil pan was not being used, hence why the screw driver was there, if not, it would be a rubber ended extension tool. I can tell you have not removed the oil pan one of these bikes before though, if you have a better recommendation on how to get the oil pan off, I am waiting to listen to your suggestions with my pop corn in my hand.
@@Motomillion I have used sockets and combo or open/box end wrenches to remove many fasteners and drain plugs, save the cheesy adjustable wrench (shouldn't be in motorcycle mechanic toolbox) for your plumber not your $$ Ducati. Try a Micarta scraper tool/blade, they will not mar aluminum surfaces, and do a fantastic job of scraping RTV sealant off, you can also pry with them. They also make brass punches/rods and brass scrapers that you can hit with your "mallet" (sorry you are correct, you weren't using a hammer I apologize for that. ); and not damage the aluminum, brass is softer than a screwdriver. Enjoy that popcorn. It is a beautiful bike by the way, sorry you had to deal with an oil leak.
Filter is 10-20 bucks, might as well use a new one. Especially if any of the gasket material made its way to the oil pan. Impossible for me to replicate the same leak from the same area if I improperly used the silicone.
If you got millions of moto bucks I guess haha..the silicone usually beads so I doubt it..did you check if the original oil pan is square and true with a straight edge of a ruler?

I would be interested in this gasket as well as a gasket for the clutch cover. The one that has 18 bolts.
Duc's are beautiful, but in study after study year after year, worst 1 or 2 with BMW . Why? 🤷♂️
Who made the gasket?
Absolutely! The people need those gaskets brother!
As you told me in the last video. Riding a Ducati is an ‘event’. Of course I agree 😂🎉
Hahaha yes. Not always an event like this, but it is eventful!
@@Motomillion I like how you don’t take things too seriously. 👍🏻
Lol
Your vids are so satisfying to watch, easily my favorite build to have watched since the beginning and because it was my dream bike.

Lets hope so!
I sure hope this is the fix. I went out and looked at my 2023 SF V4S right away after watching and lucky for me no oil leak. I have about 2500 miles.
Mostly they are very reliable. We don’t think this is a very common issue.

I have a 2022 Aprilia RSV4 1100. It seems that Italian bikes are keeping up the tradition with oil leaks
The new Ducati’s have been fairly reliable.
I have a very similar leak on my V2, it’s been serviced for it once. Now a year later back in again.
Have you got the V4SP2 gaskets for the sump yet
Yes, we have a few of them here. Were you looking for some?
My 2023 V4S valve cover gasket was leaking, got it fixed and started leaking 2 days later. Gear box sensor no longer senses neutral as well
I’ll be filming a vid today talking about everything going on with my bike. And yes it’s leaking oil in a similar spot. 🙈
We've been awaiting the Lamborghini SF V4 videos!
Can't wait for that video to drop even though it's bad news, but at least it will be an educational video & a heads-up to all Ducati bike owners to be on the lookout for that oil issue.
Outstanding!
Might it be due to the aluminum bolts with low torque specs? if there is tollerance issues the bolts sure wont pull the two halves together.
It is the same spec on all bikes to dates with these engines. We heard something unofficial regarding the leaks, but the gasket took care of the leak.
God I want this bike so bad 😭. The sp2 is so beautiful
You can purchase it once we are done.
@@Motomillion if I have that kinda money I gladly would
HEY MANI! what is the part number for that Ducati torque wrench with degree? Thx!!

It is not a confirmed "issue". Just a handful of people that have confirmed of similar / same leaks.
I would hope Ducati is reimbursing you for your time since the bike is under warranty. One of my Ducs just came back from warranty work.
They are not. It is for sure under warranty, but I would rather fix it myself. Especially since I am OCD and do not want a single scratch or a marred bolt.
do you have a oil pan gasket for a 2016 1299s???
No, unfortunately only for the Panigale V4

The cutter is extremely soft, does not remove any metal at all, all cross hatch marks are still visible. We tested it on the old belly pan before we went onto the bike. The cutter is a very very soft scouring pay by 3M.
@@Motomillion I use to use those on car parts when I would install and it causes oil leaks like what u had , I stop using those now all I use is a carbie snap on scraper keeps things flat and straight , and I have never had a leak since
A little off topic but are 520 chains really strong enough for modern 200+ HP bikes? Some of the 520 chains only show that they are made for max 150hp.
The sp2 has already 520 chain. Probably he did a mistake...
The Sp2 comes with a 520 chain, we are still changing the sprocket and chain setup to a lighter one. As long as you are using the correct chain, the 520 will work with bikes of such power.
Yes, not a 520 conversion, but we are still changing sprockets and chains for light weight! We just finished filming it, saved TON of weight.
Is the oil pan true and flat not bowed or warped
We checked with a straight edge, both the under engine mating surface and the oil pan is true as far as we can tell.
Shit I freaked out when I saw you holding that battery driver with the scotch pad on😲😲😲😲
Tested on the oil pan we took off, doesn’t remove even the cross hatch marks.
That's the type of thing that would make me lay down on the garage floor in a fetal position and cry myself to sleep!
Not that bad. Just very time consuming and annoying to do it for the second time.
And i was thinking that only my MV Agusta had issues 😂
You feel our pain!
Throw the thing in the dumpster and start another R1 build😅
Maybe once the new R1 comes out. That will keep this out of the dumpster for a while. In all seriousness, this SP2 is an amazing bike.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
No fires please! No oil leaks no fires! :D
To me, that atv/gasket sealer is trash. I don’t understand why manufacturers use this stuff?
Were you able to see where the oil was crossing the silicone?? Was it a case of the silicone rubbing off and creating a void that it could seep through or is it crossing over the silicone??? (if its crossing the silicone they need to revisit the torque spec but if its a void being created, then there is some vibration that is destroying the material and you putting a metal one in there will solve it for sure...) IMHO.... :-P
No visible pathways. Almost impossible that we resealed it the first time and it leaked from the same place. Especially after we cleaned it fully!
@@Motomillion If its a spot on the pan where its creating a pressure point or its loose and creates a friction point I would guess its possible....it could also be that the sight glass is creating a vibration point that is somehow creating an issue?? LOL. I have no idea. I am guessing the metal gasket has more mass than just a silicone seal and thats what stops the issue....as long as both surfaces are smooth and you are able to torque the bolts properly, that should have sealed it completely, so it has to be something else causing the leak....either vibration or coming from somewhere else... oil will do strange things...
i have the same issue with mine :/
I hope you get get it resolved. We do have the gasket available now if you are running into the same issues over and over again.
Can you imagine if it’s the block that’s leaking OMG the amount of money they would be out.
The block could have been improperly machined but we really doubt it is the case.
@@Motomillion wow someone on the CNC machine really messed up.
Even if its the block, a slightly thicker gasket would still fix the leak....they wouldnt need to replace the block....
@@redrider0151 Ducati doesn’t use gaskets on their oil pans that’s the point we’re making.
garbage bike
You never get problem like these with a Japanese bike
Every manufacturer has their issues. This is not a common issue with the V4 platform.
Ducatis love to leak, mines been resealed twice and still a slight leak
From the oil pan?
@@Motomillion one was due to replacing the waterpump and they didn’t seal it properly but there is still a slight leak from a different area. I need to pin point it and will let you know.
Mani ❤
Mines totally fine 😂
Most of them are… we hope.
Adjustable wrench Mani? Come on, use a socket!😂
Socket does not fit over the valve.
Unfortunately, the Ducati do not admit their mistakes officially. And working under the Germans didn't fix it. On my Diavel of 2015, on a run of 15,000 km, the crankshaft destroyed the engine. Representatives of Ducati refused to repair under warranty, saying that there were no revocable moments. Although in an informal conversation, a crankshaft defect was recognized. In that 2020, in the Ducati service, a lot of the Deavel and a Multistrada were under repair with the same problem. Italians don't have the same conscience as the Japanese)
40k bike I would be crying.😩
We are happy that we are capable of fixing it.
Sell it for a Kawasaki lol good old Italian reliability
Nah, we are good now that it is fixed. They have been dead reliable for us in the past 5 or so odd years.
Imagine winning this bike and the leak end up happening again lol😅
We don’t give away bikes. Leak is already taken care of.
If this reliability issues occurred on japanese bikes the internet will be full of hate and angry comments followed by people refusing to patronise the brands but somehow when it comes to European bikes the internet just makes excuses for them and promote the ownership. So weird
I don't think it is acceptable for the bike this expensive to leak out of the show room. I love Ducati but I'm sticking to Japan.
It is definitely unacceptable. We are not happy that we had to deal with this issue, but luckily we got it all fixed up!
@@Motomillion Great! Enjoy the ride. That bike is an absolute beast.
that bike is still sexy even without fairings 😍🤩😍🤩😍
Thank you! Those exhaust pipes got us drooling!
The EFFING cost of this machine......if it's kicking your ARSE....I feel for the average Joe....
Its not how hard we hit the ground, but how quickly we can get back up 😉
@@Motomillion So true....glad you (a 🏍️ Wizard) can walk "US" through this ...even though Ducati s not in my budget....this would drive me insane.... Great job 👍 fixing it.... Ducati should hire you....
No doubt that this particular model is one of the nicest bike in the market but I wouldn’t waste my time or money. No one should have to go through what you are going through after spending all that money on a brand new bike. On top of that it hasn’t even been pushed hard on a track for 10 to 15 laps . I enjoy working and fixing bikes that leak and have minor issues but on a bike that’s already pretty much old 10 to 15,000 miles and maybe 5 to 10 years old. So again, no one should have to go through this after spending so much money on a brand new expensive machine. If this is something that occurred after at least 10k and a few years of owning it, ok but brand new….. naaaaa I rather stick with my R1M and it’s the second one I own and never had any issues like this and I ride my bike on the track four times a month. And we are pushing. I say this because at least twice a month you will see a Ducati leaking oil and we help them out and I always said to myself I will never spend all that money on this bike.
Sending stuff around is often something you have to deal with as well. Rather do it ourselves.
I do hear all the hype, but glad I spent my money on the Yamaha as she is ready to be problem free for hundreds of thousands of miles.
We have not had any issues with any of our other Ducati's. This one has been a handful with this leak.
🙂👍
Almost $40k and you had to have someone fabricate you a custom gasket?? WTF
And hope they treat the bike as good as I would want it treated.
For a 40,000 euro motorcycle oil leak is not acceptable in any ways period!!!…i own a gsxr 600 2012 model with 43.000 km on the clock….i repeat 11 year old bike…not even a drop of oil leak!!!!
Ducati and Miami arent Synonyms
Why not?
❤❤❤😂
Nice waxed hands
Slick hair too!
2023 less than 1k leaking.
Same spot?
Mine too
Did you really use a Cresent/adjustable wrench on a Ducati oil line? And then you pounded off the aluminum oil sump pan with a hammer and screwdriver? No wonder you have oil leaks!! Also the red scotch bright abrasive pads are very abrasive and will remove metal, try the much less abrasive blue pads for removing the sealant. Come on man, you can be a better mechanic than that; you wouldn't be touching my $$ Ducati with your Crescent wrench and hammer/screwdriver/chisel combo; You're not working on a $600 used 1985 Honda!
It is not the oil line, and it was the stahlbus drain valve that was being replaced.
There is no way to get the sump off from the dowels without a mallet, it is a mallet and not a hammer.
The pad is not "Scotch Brite" but another 3M product, we did test it on the oil pan that came off, and it did not remove any metal, and this is what the 3M rep recommended as well. All cross hatch marks on the oil pan are still there.
The oil pan was not being used, hence why the screw driver was there, if not, it would be a rubber ended extension tool.
I can tell you have not removed the oil pan one of these bikes before though, if you have a better recommendation on how to get the oil pan off, I am waiting to listen to your suggestions with my pop corn in my hand.
@@Motomillion I have used sockets and combo or open/box end wrenches to remove many fasteners and drain plugs, save the cheesy adjustable wrench (shouldn't be in motorcycle mechanic toolbox) for your plumber not your $$ Ducati. Try a Micarta scraper tool/blade, they will not mar aluminum surfaces, and do a fantastic job of scraping RTV sealant off, you can also pry with them. They also make brass punches/rods and brass scrapers that you can hit with your "mallet" (sorry you are correct, you weren't using a hammer I apologize for that. ); and not damage the aluminum, brass is softer than a screwdriver. Enjoy that popcorn. It is a beautiful bike by the way, sorry you had to deal with an oil leak.
Maybe you shouldn't be cranking out instructional videos if you have no idea what your doing. Yah think?
Maybe you shouldn't be cranking out comments without having comprehension skills. Yah think?
@@Motomillion Curious what educational background you have that qualifies you be instructing others in motorcycle mechanics.
@@Motomillion Right, Just another guy with a garage and a camera and no education or mechanical training. Be careful who you follow people.
they shipped the bike with the oil pan bolts LOL
A very funny coincidence.
Thanks again for the video. Purchasing gasket now.
Glad to help
o the joy of having a Ducati hahahahahahahahah
Thats Ducati. Unreliable
Still loving every second of ownership of it.
It's kind of silly to use a new filter...and bolts..I don't see it leaking unless you didn't use the silicone properly you nufty
Filter is 10-20 bucks, might as well use a new one. Especially if any of the gasket material made its way to the oil pan.
Impossible for me to replicate the same leak from the same area if I improperly used the silicone.
If you got millions of moto bucks I guess haha..the silicone usually beads so I doubt it..did you check if the original oil pan is square and true with a straight edge of a ruler?
