Default Little help with Oil Leak..

Ok. here is the problem. I been avioding this **** for atleast 2 months but I have a small leakage from the alternator side. I went to a local bikeshop and he told me excalty what I was thinking, that Im leaking small drops of oil from the alternator. He told me that it probably the gasket. Then he said its only a dealer part.
Anyone ever have this issue. Im not leaking a gallon per ride, just a drop or three.
Also, can someone comfirm that the alternator is cover with oil or next to the oil.
thanks.

Any oil leak is a problem. The cover is filled with oil. If it was dropped/crashed the cover probably has a stress leak. You may even just need to re-seal it. It's an easy fix.

Yea, thats probably the case. I havent really looked at the bolts yet to see if they are tight. I guess thats my starting point!

I knew it, it had to be the worse possible case. Dam alternator cover was cracked. Problem fixed, money lost. (i hate bikes)
