After all the work this weekend it is still leaking in the exact same spot. I am not really sure how to handle this now but let it mark its territory. The good thing is I know that the primary is not leaking. Anyway, I am thinking maybe a porous casting or something. Does anyone have any insight into this?
If that is not happening and the O ring is leaking without any visible damage I would possibly look into using some Black RTV or maybe a slightly oversized O Ring?? Is that available?

I'll figure something out but I am heading out on another trip next week so it will have to be after that. This leak is more of an annoyance than anything. Thanks for the suggestion. The o ring just had a little flat spot on the top of it and was not pinched at all anywhere. I am reluctant to put any sort of RTV on the o ring as the poil return hole returns oil to the cam chest and if that should come apart it may find it's way in there. A bigger o ring sounds like the best idea.
I am trying to find a way to justify buying a 120R and baker 6 speed due to this issue. I don't think I really can but who knows what will happen in the future. LOL.

Actually they are way nicer than the Harley slotted 6 spokes. Smooth anodized finish, forged billet, not cast but I guess they are similar. Chris look through this page and tell me what looks best to you.
