Have been noticing oily buildup on the rh side of the engine block and the source appears to be where I'd expect to find a cylinder base gasket. It's not leaking enough to leave anything on the floor or where I park it (yet), but I've yet to see a 'leak' get better without doing something about it.
I would suspect a cylinder base gasket (and maybe head gasket too) but the two online parts fiche I've seen don't list a cylinder base gasket. Head gaskets, yes. And I'd replace it as long as I was in the neighborhood. Chances are this is original equipment but just curious if there truly is or is not a cylinder base gasket and if there is, where is a good source?
This looks like a project that will probably wait until the end of the riding season up here in Wisconsin, which probably isn't that far away.
