need help with oil leak

[rdgarry]

I have a 350pv motor that is leaking oil from the seal on the kick start. I have changed the seal and it still leaks when I ride. It seems to leak more the harder I ride, I'am wondering if the kick start shaft has a nick, or something along those lines. Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

maybe its a seal farther in?

May be the shaft as you suspected. I have a spare or 3 laying around if you wanna give it a shot..

Or maybe try coating the part of the shaft that touches the seal w/ some silicone, but not too much of it, so you don't have that crap floating around in your oil.
