My CB450 that I just got has a bit of an oil leaking problem. I put oil in the motor, and it just pours out through the shifter linkage. The shifter feels very loose, like theres too much play. What do I need to fix the problem, is there some sort of bushing, and/or seal? I downloaded a manual, but I don't see anything in the book about a seal or bushing.

sounds like the seal mentioned above but for posterity I'll mention the chain oiler. there is a flathead set screw in the center of the countershaft. That screw controls flow of engine oil outward onto the chain, if it comes loose the oil goes everywhere. replace the seal and tighten up the screw.

Mine is doing the exact same thing. Anybody have the part number for the seal? I can't find it on any list or 'fiche.
