The outer oil seal started 'misting' about a month ago. Took it to BMW to have it replaced. That seal started pissing out within 500 miles, took it back and they changed it again. They said that the mating surfaces were fine, no marks etc. About 500 miles have passed and the bloody thing is misting again. Bike done 24000 miles and its a brilliant bike when its not broke.

Any ideas as to why it keeps leaking? dodgy seals? :nenau
 
Is the fd bearing okay? I'm just thinking perhaps excess play not allowing seal to work?
 
thanks for reply, I dont think there is any play and I would have thought BMW garage would have checked? or am I expecting too much?

Will keep an eye on it for a few more miles before sending it back in.
