Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsSounds like the seal on the filler cap. Mine had this, I changed the cap but I think it is possible to just change the seal. Few quid only.
No problems after cap changed, (well not from that area anyway
)

Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsYep it is possible to change to seal on the oil filler cap, only a £1-2 from a main stealer. Done mine a few months ago, stops the engine looking messy!

Won't the original cap polish up?
Failing that, how about a rub down & spray?
Fun in the twisties!
