Hello,

I have a 2001 drifter 800 and have noticed that I have oil accumulating around the lower 3 air cooling fins on both stacks.  I can't tell where it is coming from?  Oil level is between the lines on the viewing port.  I had stored it all winter in my shed with a battery tender the last month and was starting it up every weekend.  Not sure if this may have caused a seal to fail, because of the cold weather starts?  Also, I bought this bike used last year with 1100 miles on it.  The previous owner hadn't done anything except change the oil and the owner before him did the same.  I wanted to change the oil anyway and get it tuned up by the dealer but didn't want to do the oil myself if it turned out that seals needed replacing (and thus another oil change) etc.  Any ideas as to where the oil might be coming from?  Are there gaskets where this could be coming from?
