Not sure what part you are talking about, can you send a pic.?

The 10's will seap a little oil (usually out of the rocker cover gasket) if you over fill them and then ride it as the manufacturer intended :twisted: .
Happened to both mine and Watties, dropped a little oil out the sump and they were ok..

O'k i got the cover off and found that the plug had broken off the cover.... So just just need a crank case cover right side... Cheers
