I am having troubles keeping the clutch cover from leaking oil at the seams to the crank case. I have replaced the gasket two times already, making sure not scratches or dings are in the sealing surfaces, cleaning it real good and stuff. It always starts leaking again after a few hundered miles, and at the same spot. When I had it apart I checked for any kind of surface faults and couldn't find any. It always leaks right in front of one of the bolts that holds the clutch cover on. It's the bolt right next to the front cylinder to crankcase nut, behind the oil filler cap. I meticoulusly torqued all the bolts with 13 Nm in a criss cross pattern in three steps. I am at my wit's end what to do anymore. Anybody else have a leaking clutch cover, or am I the only one here? I always use the OEM gasket, and there's additional sealant applied on the gasket in that area from the factory, but doesn't seem to work. There seems to be plenty of sealant, because when torqing down it squishes ot a tiny bit. My torque wrench is a real good one from Europe, brand is HAZET and was about $200 new. So I don't think this is the culprit. I even read that other people reuse the old gasket...how in the world do they keep it dry??? Any ideas?
