    Seeping Head

    OK so I seem to have a thin oil leak seeping between the.... upper and lower heads? Where the metal gasket is. I just tightened it down (a year ago) but it's only been ridden 80 miles in test rides since then. Does this bode poorly (meaning do I need a new gasket?) or might this just be another retorque?

        and dont run the engine before you re-torque the nuts, as its quickly going to make things worse
