Reply #1 - 05/27/12 at 12:44:58 I just bought my 96' Savage a few weeks ago, and there isn't a drop of oil leaking anywhere on it. I'm guessing the PO fixed the plug oil leak on mine. R.F.

Reply #2 - 05/27/12 at 12:55:57 Ive never torqued the head, 20,000 miles, only leak Ive had was where the clutch lever passes thru the case, & I put a new O-ring in there when I was in it last. As of now, no leaks,,

Don't think there's an oil passage near those bolts.
But an improper seal on the head cover could cause oil to migrate thru the head gasket to any of those bolts. And once oil is in there, ain't going to be easy to stop.

every savage will leak sooner or later, it's tellin' ya to show some luv and gitrdon before she pisses all over ya. Cool

mine wont soon!!! the threads in the bottom end to hold this bolt in pulled right out. noticed it started puking while on its stand. I had to get a full gasket kit and since i have not ripped apart a motorcycle yet i have no idea what im doing Embarrassed

seriously need to learn haha but its costing $300 some odd dollars and then it was $140 for the gasket kit. Hopefully getting it back this week!!!!!
