A governor shaft seal of this type was installed on the Honda-powered power washer and it made the leak go away. A Honda XL500R is leaking oil. Where is it coming from / what is it?

There was no problem with the oil seal. Removed the governor and coated it with a thin coat of 00 grease, (a few drops of the dipstick's oil will suffice)
I then removed the governor arm from the motor. Attach the clip pin to the end of the piece. I'll hold you to *) Be careful! I have a 10mm hex wrench for all you DIYers.
At the bottom of the governor arm, where it wraps around the shaft, the rod has a gap. * It is a 0 mistake to assume that the gap needs to be closed in order to tighten the nut. It is recommended to tighten the shaft only enough to clamp it and Honda recommends 7 foot pounds as the recommended torque. Those two oomphs are nothing more than extra energy. The previous technician had to apply over 80 foot pounds of torque to this arm to completely close the gap, stretching out the aluminum arm to the point where it was no longer clamping. Be careful not to replicate a mistake made by that person. As I sit here waiting for a new arm, I can see a 300-pound gorilla standing over me with a 10mm cannon.
Here's a small egg I got from a local shop A ring, gasket for my power washer, which has a Honda engine. The engine continually leaked oil very slowly and I could not figure out what was causing it. My first stop was YouTube, and a very nice man posted a video about this issue with all vertical Honda engines. Unfortunately all these engines come without the small o-ring that should help you when you are doing this. The manufacturer provides a gasket, ring and seal. This is probably a result of Honda manufacturer trying to save a little money. In spite of the fact that it was only about 5 cents to make, the gasket is still a little pricey for its size, but it was extremely easy to install and has stopped any engine oil leaks. Those of you reading this may wonder where the leak is coming from, it's at the governor attachment on the engine. There is a circular hole that is made for this little gasket to fit perfectly into. This is the location where your oil leak is slowly emanating. To find this gasket, you will need to remove the air filter assembly. Once it is removed, you will be able to see a governor connection with a small hole. It is very easy to install, and there is a video on YouTube about it that shows you how to do it. It only takes 15 minutes.
A brand new Husqvarna push mower with a Honda motor was delivered. My lawn mower was running well and mowing beautifully but left a lot of oil puddles behind. After doing some research, it appears that Honda was trying to save money by not installing a seal on motors used to operate lawn mowers, thus on hills it would leak (Bad Honda quality control)! It is fortunate that many have had this issue and that a YouTube video helped me find a part that stopped the leak. There was a leak on Amazon, but they had a seal and it fixed it! Installation was quick and easy, took about 5 minutes. THANK YOU! I am so happy!.
Original Honda part. Oil leaks can be a real nightmare, but this solution is the perfect solution. As far as I can tell, Honda did not install these seals on these vehicles at the time of manufacture.
My Honda mower now has this seal installed. I had been having an oil leak since I bought my mower new, and it was a simple install. Although the Honda engine is machined specifically for this part, for some reason, the factory fails to install it when it is mounted on a lawn.
I replaced the oil leak in five minutes and it was fixed. A little time is needed for the governor to be adjusted, but it isn't too complicated.
For such a small seal, it is very well constructed. I bought mine to go on the governor shaft of a Honda GCV lawnmower motor, and it stopped a small amount of oil weeping that seems to be common with.
That fixed the problem and now there's no more oil going out that hole and causing the rear side of the engine to get saturated.
