The oil leak above the chain on a 1976 Kawasaki KZ400 is often caused by a few common issues, such as a worn or damaged gasket, a faulty oil seal, or excessive oil pressure. Additionally, improper maintenance or overfilling the oil can lead to leaks in that area. It's important to inspect the components around the chain, including the oil lines and engine cases, to identify the exact source of the leak. Regular maintenance can help prevent these issues from arising.

Both the 3.1 and 3.4 engines in these vehicles have intake manifold gasket leaking problems. Sometimes the leak allows coolant to flow into the engine. But if it's leaking up front, oil leaks out and drips down the front timing chain cover. At first glance it appears like it's an oil pan leak. But if you spray it down with cleaner and check again, you'll see that the oil is coming from above.
