Help!!!! On my cg125
Hi guys,
I recently changed the piston, rings and bottom end on my 1996 Honda cg 125, I made sure the rings were in right and also that all the ring spaces were opposites etc, plus changed the head and bottom end gaskets,
I filled up with a blend of 5w-40 and 10w-40 oil and I know for a fact I put to much in but I didn't think it would matter as the crank case has a breather tube,
I was out riding yesterday when I noticed a hot oil smell when I pulled upto the lights, I peered down and oil was very slowly coming from my exhaust manifold in the head and heating up on the red hot engine! I don't have any idea how this could happen because there is literally no smoke as if it would be burning the oil**********?? It is also down on power since this started to a bit.
Please advise on what this could be as I'm stumped???? The rings,barrel and piston have about 45-50 miles on them since replaced and the bike is an air cooled 4t pushrod engine

We are bicycle -- the pedal type -- enthusiasts on Bike Forums. Sorry that our name has mislead somewhat.
You might try the following forum, which I found just now for motor bikes:

Good luck, and hope you get the oil leak corrected.
