72 T500 Titan (Oil leak) unknown origin 13k miles

Post by acethis89 »

Hi guys, just joined the Suzuki 2 Stroke Family,
I am From USA . California
I have a All Original, (mirrors are off in pictures) but I have them, it has 13k Miles, and has always been kept indoors, was in the last owners living room on display with other bikes and sat for 3-4 years, i drained the floats a little bit, old gas and all smelled good to go, took about 15 kicks before we got it going on 1 cylinder and let it sit for a few minutes and it started right up and purred on both. the battery is old but is kept on a trickle charger on rotation with other bikes. this thing is in Museum condition ,

it is missing a signal knob and hi lo nob but all rubber, the seat everything is original. Gold paint has been added to prevent rust. i have rode it for about 30 minutes to a hour, and it feels pretty solid and comfy , long gears,

my big question is where is this oil coming from in the pictures, drips and drops on the right side front and side of Imagecrankcase and exhaust pipe, thank you\
