I just fold my oil leak. Union bolt that holds oil line to termostat housing. Union bolt was retorked and oil leak is stoped. Has any one had this problem and is so did it happen again? Took best part of day to remove plastic clean bike and plastic then put back on. I keep thing that this would have been a bummer on the way to Rally.

Two new washers might make it stay fixed longer. I'd order them just to have so you can use them if it starts leaking again.

I found that bolt also leaked on my '95 GS. I snugged it down and has been leak free for the past two years.
