Well, as everyone on here probably knows, I have had my motor in and out several times here lately. Well this time, its running great but a little bit of oil builds up under the starter and trickles down the side of the side cover. This has to be leaking around the side cover doesnt it?

There is also a O-ring on the starter where it goes into motor.If your like me when I pull motor I leave all the cables attached and just pull starter out saves time since normally two starter bolts need to come off anyway but I have nicked the O-ring once.

I think ronnie did pull the starter out the last time, maybe I should check that because I cant see anywhere its leaking on the side cover.
