Maintenance, Servicing, and Mechanical / Re: Need help id'ing the Missing Bolt that is causing an oil leak
« Last post by Coconut on Today at 04:31 am »Hi,
I believe that Bolt is Triumph Part Number T3202303 - M6 x 28mm.
Item #7 here : Hermys Triumph eStore
You could try taking out the adjacent bolt and carefully trying it.
Sorry to be the nearer of bad news, but I am concerned that your report of "Milky" coloured engine oil,
low coolant level, and higher engine oil level, is a result of the coolant mixing with the engine oil.
Milky engine oil is a classic sign that water has been mixed with engine oil
and one of the most common causes is a leaking cylinder head gasket,
although there could also be other reasons.
My advice would be NOT to run the engine, as this could cause damage
due to the reduced lubrication of contaminated oil, and potentially higher pressure
due to the extra volume of fluid, which could also affect other seals.
The contaminated oil will need to be drained, and flushed out, as will the Coolant,
and the cause of the cross contamination identified and fixed.
You Dealer will be best placed to do this - but have your wallet ready - it's likely to be expensive.
The area labelled as "Clutch" in your Photo houses the Starter Flywheel and the Starter Sprag Clutch.
( The main engine/gearbox clutch is on the other side of the engine )

Cheers
