As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

HI

Got a oil leak { 4-5 } drops after ride . from my front right side head cap.

see picture{4 caps 1 is leaking }. I am not sure if I need gasket job or i hope not a valve or head job.

engine is original .
 
If it is leaking from behind the cap, it is probably the half-moon rubber gasket. They don't really cost that much, and, if it's original, is probably too hard to do its job properly. It calls for removal of the valve cover, so just grab your feeler gauges and check the valves while you are in there.

If you have not yet found how to remove the caps, look up from underneath, you will see two Philips-head screws holding each one on.
