Re: Oil Filler Cap Gasket Leaking :-( 700 1985

Thomas,

I embarrassed to report that I paid $15.97 for the gasket, PN 1378870-8 at my dealer. I had bought a bunch of other stuff and didn't notice the price.

I had a little bit of an oil film that would form on the valve cover, fore and aft. Replacing the gasket fixed this.

The only other thing I would say is check your PCV system to make sure that you also aren't pressurizing the crankcase/motor.

Greg
