oil leaking from bottom

The oil is leaking from the bottom of an Aprilia RS4 125 because it is coming from a crankcase breather hole located to the left of the sprocket. There should be a small pipe connected to this hole. If the pipe is missing or disconnected, oil can leak from it.

To set the ignition timing for the Aprilia RS4 125:

1. Remove the spark plug and ensure the seal is not lost.
2. Locate the timing holes on the engine—one on the side and one on the front. These are used for timing pins.
3. On the side of the engine, there are two bungs. Remove the top bung to view the timing mark.
4. Use the lower bung to turn the engine over manually.
5. Align the timing mark visible through the top bung to set the engine to Top Dead Center (TDC).
6. Use proper timing pins in the timing locator holes to lock the engine at TDC.

This process ensures the engine is correctly aligned for ignition timing.
