check this out. I just did the rings on this motor. I traded this bike for a rc car. another ''spare'' bike... it ran fine just had a bad diff.
so while pressure washing the bottom off a major oil leak started. I flipped the motor over and
saw a tiny hole in the case. I picked at it with a pick and watched this hole become huge. seems like it started
from the outside cause the bolt is corroded off. I guess its time full a full case up build. should be fun:wondering

any chance it was parked and packed with salt water beach sand between engine and frame pan?

or leaking battery acid held against it by mud?

any hope for an external patch?

PS - My 'dislike' vote was about this condition, Not your post.

very sad, and scary and what else?
a reason to get a few more trikes perhaps?

Just sorry you have to go through this.
Maybe there's an easy fix, with all the advances in chemistry and stuff.
Heck, most new airplanes are adhesive based so maybe there's hope.

drill it round and put an expandable plug in it?
big glob of jb?
