gasket leaking... better get it treated... it's a matter of time u wont be able to start ur bike or it will die on the road... i experienced b4...

i tink wad u need to do now is to buy the strongest elephant glue and seal off the hole. for better results, use a scotchtape together with elephant glue. that should do the trick.

hmmm... take some waste wood, nails and a hammer.. and some PVA glue also...

 

find the leaking area, put some glue and the wood in place.. nail it in to stop the leak..

 

so there you go, no more leak...

 

the idea is there too...

 

on a serious note, better go to bikeshop and have it changed.

careful not to let the contents spill out!

when u head down to the shop and they just offer to tighten the bolts for you, opt for a new gasket instead. although you might need to change your engine oil in the process (might need to drain out block), it's much more reassuring to know that the gasket will not leak again.

thanks for all the info..

roughly how much changing a gasket? 2b bike.

[DM]

simple gasket costs ~$15-$35

not so sure for bajaj pulsar. you could try asking in the bajaj pulsar thread instead, use the search function.

let not forget the workman fee. it won't be just $15-$35 charges. I mean that maybe just the gasket cost price.

labour fee also can't be that big a difference...

Better to replace early.. In case any other big problem surface..
