http://i1126.photobu...zpsc8af6fe9.jpg DSCF1462_zpscbbdef31.jpg Hi I am restoring a 81 gpz 550 and have her running went for about a 20 mile ride sunday and when i got back i noticed oil on the lower right cylinder fins and the ignition cover. on the right side I had noticed a bit of dampness below the cylinder base gasket , the bike has been laid up for 10 years and has only done about 120 miles since i got her back on the road. The leak had not appeared on the right side during previous rides. is there any fix for this or is it a tiop end rebuild job?
