    I have an 81' 650 with the exact same issue. As someone that can follow directions but has no real mechanical experience, is this something I can do without too much hassle? Do I need to remove the gas tank first or the exhaust pipes? Is it possible to just do all the work with those parts in place? Outside having the proper torque tools, it sounds like its screws and rings - which I'm hoping I can deal with

    The yellow square shows where the oil sputters out. The leak starts within about a minute of starting the bike up.

    Thank you kindly in advance.

      You just need a new valve cover gasket. It's time to adjust your valves anyway.

        Hardest part is cleaning off the old gasket, and waiting for the valve shims you are sure to need.

          Replace the tach drive seals while you're in there too.

            Can we assume this could be the corresponding part?

            #11 should be a copper washer. The aforementioned "o-ring" that Ray was talking about goes in a groove on a specialized nut in the location of #10. However, in the illustration #10 "looks" like a regular "acorn" nut. Is that illustration correct? It says "GS750ESD E3" at the bottom but it "looks" more like a 2V head to me. Unless of course the 750 4V head is significantly different inside the cam cover than the 1100 4V head? Anyway, the o-ring on the 1100 4V head goes on nut #10.

              leak on front 6mm head bolt

              http://www.partshark.com/fiche_secti...1979&fveh=2141

              I was hoping for the quick fix on my gs 850 1979 but i don't seem to see the same part on the above fiche. I do however see some weird rectangle type o ring under the head gasket. is that my culprit possibly?

              ok addition.

              my leak appears to come from the threads through the top is there some oring im missing in there thats not in this particular fiche?
