    I've noticed a seep of oil running down the head past
    the exhaust ports area of the head.

    I cleaned the area really well with degreaser and check again
    after a week.
    Same thing, although now it's come down and is forming
    drops on my bash/skid plate.
    The oil level is still above add, so it's not a huge leak but...

    Are the valve covers known to leak on these Cagiva Huskys?

    Is there another place it could be coming from up on the head?

    I know I'll need to pull the fuel tank to check, but just want
    to see if it's a common thing.

    Thanks.

    Take the rocker cover off and refit it with sealant.
    I dont think they come from the factory sealed, so leak oil.

    Thanks Weasel that's what I was afraid of. It happened to both of my last
    KTM LC4s too.
