Hi there i just bought a 2001 savage LS650 and noticed that it had a small oil leak comeing from the hole in the cylinder head desinged to let air throught.I have been reading that it could be the cylinder head nuts but am not sure.In the CLYMER repair manuel it telles me to remove the cylinder head cover .My problem with this is that I am not sure if there is a gasket there ,or just some kind of sealent.Can  someone tell me when I remove it will I have to replace a gasket, or if it is sealent what kind of sealent shoud I use?also  if anyone knows what else could be leaking please let me know.Thanks for the help Caleb

Boy are you going to get it!  Posting a question in the technical section.  Don't be surprised when this post moves to "rubber side down" or disappears.

Check out page 2 of this technical section for a full discussion under "oil plug/cap leak"


Seal is RTV.
Be careful to only torque bolts to 5 inch pounds at most.
I fixed mine and no leak now.

Yes, you need to read the DO NOT POST QUESTIONS HERE: READ THIS FIRST! post at the top of the Technical Corner.

RTV gray hi-temp is what Suzuki uses but there are a few other colors of RTV hi-temp that several other people have used without problems.
