Turned out the valve cover gasket was not 100% alligned.

 

:laugh:

 

 

Murphy's law, next week Thursday the plan is to ride the VF to the north of Spain. And now there an oil leak.

Woohoo!!! Crisis averted and you get to ride!!!

Was a little confused as well since I looked at my bike just now and those are dead-end passages anyway. The oil-feed crush-washers are higher up on head. So it could be from those and dribbled down.

 

Had similar issues previously with valve-cover gasket too. The rubber washers on cover-bolts had dried and shrunken and not applying as much pressure on valve cover. Replacing those fixed leak around lower edge.
