    My 2006 Aero 750 is leaking oil from where a hose attaches to a rectangular protrusion on the upper right side of the front of the crankcase. The hose is routed up along the right side of the radiator. I lose track of it when it gets into the head of the forks. What is the hose for, and how...

    I have a 97 Ace 1100 with 62k miles, which I picked up a couple months ago. There's some seepage on the engine, and I'm trying to figure out if it's something I need to bring to a mechanic, or something I can do on my own. In terms of experience, I'm a little handy but haven't ever done more...
