I removed both valve covers for valve clearance adjustment some weeks ago. I carefully replaced gaskets and covers, tightened them down by stages in a crisscross pattern to the torque spec. I also installed new inner and outer spark plugs.
Afterward, I noticed a small bit of oil at the front edge of the RHS valve cover. Then I installed a brand new gasket, but still having the same problem. When I ride for just a bit at freeway speeds, there is some leaking at he front and outer side of the cover. It's enough that it gets blown back onto the side cover of the bike.
What to do next? Should I try gasket sealant? I wiped things dry before installing. Never had a problem on the left side.
