Oil Leak on 2014 Empulse R

[new-brammo-guy]

Just took a 2014 Empulse R for a test ride to possibly purchase. It was a blast but unfortunately I noticed oil leaking on the underside (see pics and red circles highlighting the places that have drips on them).

The pic was taken from the left side of the bike down by the foot peg.

I read through the forum for various oil leak reports though I'm still not totally sure my situation is the same as others.

Any thoughts / suggestions as to what this leak could be? I haven't bought the bike yet ($4.5k) and probably won't if there's uncertainty with these leaks.

Other details:
-1300 miles on the odometer
-The owner hasn't done any maintenance on it
-Was stored in his apartment fully charged

Thanks everyone - I really appreciate any advice / insight!

seems both a coolant leak and a oil leak
coolant from the motor and oil from the transmission.

did the bike have the gearboxbreatherhose update?

Thanks Leander for the reply.

What makes you think that it's both a coolant and oil leak? I can take additional pics.

The owner did not have the gearboxbreatherhose update. Would this help the coolant and/or oil leaks?

all the black stuff under the motor is probably from the gearbox breather hose.

the fluid that's coming from the black plastic engine cover is probably a coolant leak caused by a damaged o-ring in the motor.

both are easy to fix if your up to it.

Hi Leander,

Do you have any information on how to replace the o-ring in the motor? I don't see any information on how to replace it in the service manual. Will I have to take the motor out?

Thank you so much!
