Seems to be a slow drip - very slow - squeezing from the top manifold - head -
not enough to deposit anywhere - just seems a drip or 2 gets windblown around the front right side of the bike. seems that there are little tabs where the gaskets sit.. seems that may be a point.
not sure if bolts just need to be retorqued - maybe the seal just isnt perfect under higher pressure...
its not good whatever it is - but its not a major concern just yet as its not a major amount.
The dealer noticed it last time I brought it in - but afeter many revs we couldnt fidn the escape point - after 2.5 hours each way - at 70mph - it def initely forced more out than the first smaller trips.... Dealer said to bring it back if it happens again - so I guess I have to bring it back... As I mentioned in my former post - I dprooped th ebike likely and bent the frame slightly at the peg joint - the dealer originally tried to pin this on me - saying that the drop cause the engine to shift as its bolted onto the frame - I find this answer appauling... total BS - if a 10mph drop can shift the manifold off the block- then this bike was not made well at all.
