Looking for any suggestions on how I should go about eliminating a slow oil leak.
On my left side cylinder I've noticed oil residue/oil accumulating and threatening to drip. It seems to only seep out while running and my best guess is that is is from the gasket between the head and cylinder. Not 100% sure, though. The location causes oil to occasionally drip onto my exhaust and blows it backward onto my leg and left side of the bike. The leak must be pretty slow as I just checked the oil level and it is fine. It probably started 2 or 3 weeks ago.
Outside of partially disassembling the engine to replace that gasket is there another item I should check or alternate plan of attack?
