oil weaping problem

[Guest]

After a great summer season. My 1980 GS850L has begun showing its age.
The engine only has 67,500 km on the odometer. But I think the previous owner
left her zit iddle in a garage for several years drying out the gaskets.
The oil appearing around the OHC disc on the left side and afound the top
leading edge of the left head.
There is also a small spot of oil starting to drip around the gear shifter shaft.

Finally I have been looking at adding an oil cooler.
I have a full vetter upper and lower fairing which channels air flow to the top end of engine.

Ther is a great spot to mount an oil cooler. Where would I add or attach the oil lines?
Pictures or diagrams would be nice as I m old school, LOL.

Cam cover gasket and half moons need to be replaced every decade or so

When did you last replace yours?

Oil cooler mounts to the two bolts on the downtubes

There's an oil seal around gearshift lever. Since you are going to replace cam cover gasket, this is perfect time to check valve clearances- do not put this off, do not hope/pray that others have done it- know for sure!
