Weeping rocker cover need some advice

[rapidridelife761]

I changed the oil on my buddy's Benelli TNT 600 the other day and noticed a slight oil film around the rocker cover. The bike runs perfectly without any strange sounds, but since it's got 9,000 km on it, I thought I'd check the valve clearances while I'm at it.

It seems like there might be a leak around one of the bolts on the cover. I didn't spot any tears in the gasket, but I haven't removed it completely yet.

Has anyone else experienced this? Should I go ahead and replace the gasket now, or would it be better to just tighten that bolt and keep an eye on it?

bro, since you're already going in for valve clearances, replace the rocker cover gasket. It's cheap insurance and best practice
