I can't really tell where it's coming from either and it's hard for me to get my big head under the scooter to look around. Lol. What's the best way to get it clean to try to figure out what's leaking?

I think the best way is to remove the plastic and use engine cleaner on it and a garden hose.

I'm still trying to figure out what kind of engine is in it. The code on the side of the CVT case says SJ50E. How else can I figure out what kind of engine is in it? The guy at the shop said something about it being a Honda engine. But I don't know for sure. I'll take some more pictures tomorrow when it's light out again. Lol.

Look at it and look for pics of other scooter engines. That will usually give you a pretty good idea if you don't know what the engine code means.

So I pulled the intake off today and looked for a better engine code and I can't find anything stamped on the case. So I still have no idea what kind of engine is in it. I've also been looking for a place to get some performace parts and I can't find any that will ship to me. I know SIP will ship to the states but I'm in a weird situation. My shipping address is APO AP(Armed Forces Pacific) with a U.S. zip code but it gets shipped from there through the military to me here. I could have stuff shipped to my family in the states and have them ship it to me but that might take forever and cost A LOT more. So it looks like I'm stuck on parts.

Thanks Fox, I figured it was the same as the S-Five. I just don't know where I can get parts for it now. Lol.

It's a blast to ride. My buddy and I took my scooters out again today and had a lot of fun riding them around. We actually rode in traffic on some major roads. It was interesting to say the least. Lol.

Some of the Daelims used Morini engines but I can't tell you which ones or which years. Sorry.
