Offroading this past weekend, I dropped the GS in a rocky area and gouged up the left valve cover. When I finally picked the bike up, oil was dribbling on the ground but I couldn't tell from where. The dribble stopped quickly and I rode the bike home, about 175 miles. I assumed cracked valve cover but I inspected the cover tonight and can't see anything like a crack or deep enough gouge. Bike is down maybe a half quart after all this. Any suggestions on where/what I should look at? Thanks.
take the cover off and examaine the bosses around the valve cover bolts. I had one develop a small leak there once. The cone shaped sealing washer was enough to seal the crack. I replaced the cover anyways.
Don't think so. Guess I'll clean it up, top off the oil and ride it a bit to see if I can spot an origination point. Thanks.
