Looks like I have some leakage under my cylinder cover head on the right side of the bike. (GL1200 1984). Is this a common leak area? I assume I could drain the oil out, remove the cover and replace the head cover gasket? Though, did I read somewhere that the bolt rubbers should be replaced too? Other thoughts?
 
No it’s not ...the bolts have fixed collar on them ..and go in so far only...this is why worn out grommets can make valve covers leak ...good system really ...not the easiest job but that bad either ...I always run the bottom bolts tight ..I think torque is like 7 lbs ...then tighten top ones ...
