Im looking at am 04 450R ....its got the athena 480 big bore kit in it....but the guy who has it says it leaks oil near the swingarm....i dont know anything about the 450's, ive only built a 400ex engine. He says it might be a cracked case, or a seal. This guy has no idea, and its in texas, about 18 hours from me in a ohio, so i cant go look at it. is their any type of seal or anything back there that could be leaking? he says the bike runs fine, just leaks oil near the swinger....any help would be appreciated!
heres what the listing said:
"This is a 2004 Honda TRX 450R (KICK START) with an Athena 480 Big Bore Kit. Everything on the bike is in great condition except the motor. One of the cases is cracked near the swingarm so it leaks oil. It still starts and runs it just needs some welding done. A new case only costs about $150 if you know how to fix it. "
