Oil Seepage

[05fjrBluedevil]

Hello,

Just have a question, I removed the high way peg brackets to drill out the hole to a larger diameter; that the foot peg bolts through.

I never noticed any seepage here before but after a few hours of setting there I noticed some seepage behing the cover where the seal or gasket contact the engine.

I replaced the brackets and re installed the foot pegs, I am wondering if that would have been normal with a few, three bolts on each side removed.

I will check again in the morning and tomorrow after riding to work, just wondering why there seems to be so many little seepage area's on my bike, did they not use any kind of gasket sealer under what I am going to call probally thin card board material gaskets?

Thx MIke
