Hey fellows,
I thought that I had dealt with this problem a few months ago (it was before I was actively participating on this forum), when I replaced the 'O' ring, but the problem seems to be back.
The problem is this: There's oil leakage from the left-side of the exhaust rocker spindle.
This is on my '78 T140E, which you all have been assisting me with (electrical & throttle cable).
Last time, I took out the 'O' ring, which was clearly shriveled and cracked. I had ordered a new one, though it looked a lot thinner than I thought it would. Still, I put my faith in my supplier's capacity to get me the right part. Also, after I installed it, it did the trick. No more weeping.
However, the weeping is back. I did get a spare O-ring (pictured) in the set I ordered.
So, my questions are these:

So, my questions are these:
- Does this look to be about the right size?
- Are these things known to 'cook' and stop doing their job properly?
