Alright, sorry for the multiple posts at one time, but you guys have been such a help! This is an awesome resource that really is coming in handy.
Anyways, I've got a leaking head gasket. Nothing major, but oil is coming out. I know this is a common problem, but I'd like to fix it - if possible. I've read that you can still ride with this issue, but its advised not to.
The leaking gasket is coming from the right side of the engine. Take a look at the first photo. The second photo is from a small hole on the left side of the engine, however it is not leaking.

Before I go about replacing the gasket, I want to explore other options. I've read about re-torquing the engine and want to know more about this. I've tried researching it and can't seem to find a clear 'how-to' on this. I've tried searching on this site, but for some reason I get an error with the search function. I want to know if this is really a viable option for this leak.
Really just curious as to my options with this.
Thanks all!
