Oil Found On Top Of Head

[MathboyJohnny]

It’s a 2003 Nighthawk 750. What could be leaking besides the valve cover gasket? The leak is on the left of the engine above where the headers go into the head. Thank you in advance for your time! I just got it and didn’t notice it before I bought it.

Valve cover gasket is definitely the most likely place of the pooling is above the head.

Thank you! That is what I thought is the culprit.

Easy job, too.

Could also be the seal on the tach drive.
