Ok so I’ve been having this irritating one small drop at a time oil leak from the left valve cover. I took it apart a month ago and thought it was only seeping out at one of the shoulder points where the sealant goes. So I cleaned it up and re sealed it. Another drop of oil today on the rag while cleaning after a ride. No drops ever actually dripped on the floor but eventually it could have.

So, today I installed a new gasket. If this doesn’t work I have to come up with a plan.

Well, it is probably too soon to know for sure but after yesterday’s ride there was no sign of oil after a vigorous try to find oil underneath that valve cover. I’m banking on the answer that it’s finally fixed.

What leak?  Hondas don’t leak oil!

What leak?  Hondas don’t leak oil!

 After giving my Harley buddy a hard time about his Harley leaking on my driveway years ago he stopped over a while back. We were in the garage when he saw under the left side of my Valk a quarter size oil spot. He says "I thought Honda's don't leak oil". They Dont. "What do you call that?" Opps. You got me. Turns out the shift seal started leaking. I fixed it soon after. No evidence now....

Ya, I’ve changed a couple shifter seals. Never seen one leak onto the ground though. Usually more of a seep making a sticky black mess on the block. It’s important to remove all evidence. Lol
