Help

Okay guys I have a 96 zx7r. The oil tube going from the bottom end to the head is leaking at the head when I start the engine. The only thing I did was replace the valve cover gasket and the oil pan gasket. WTF is going on. I took it loose to see if it is clogged and it isn't any ideas?

Check the tube then check the gaskets to make sure it isn't cracked anywhere

Does the tube attach to the head with something like a banjo bolt? Did you replace the copper (usually or could be aluminum) crush washers? They are cheap and the dealer usually has them in stock. Those washers are only good for a use or two before they'll start leaking.

Good luck!
