Finding oil leaks
Leaks can be hard to find. One thing I have done is clean the engine and then spray it down with a spray powder such as athletes foot spray. Or find some fine dry dust and coat the motor. Then when you run it the spray powder will discolor immediately letting you know where the leak is. If you are really new to working on overhead cam bike motors maybe try your first tear down on something not so crucial? Volunteer to help any of your more knowledgeable friends or find a wrecking yard that will let you tear down a already ruined motor for parts.
