Re: Oil Leak/ Gasket

Maybe it's just me being cheap, but I would just make sure the case bolts were all tightened to spec and then live with it. I think seep leaks are par for the course with small displacement bikes. I've always just washed them down every weekend so I can see if they get worse. Or if I start losing 1 quart of oil per week, then there would be a problem. But based on the location of that leak, you won't be losing oil while you are riding. Just while it's sitting.
