Default Leaking Rocker Boxes

I really need your advice on what could be a crucial decision. I've suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs... Phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with the girls a lot recently although when I ask their names she always says, "Just some friends from work, you don't know them."

I always stay awake to look out for her taxi coming home, but she always
walks down the drive, although I can hear a car taking off, as if she has
gotten out of the car round the corner. Why? Maybe she wasn't in a taxi?

I once picked her cell phone up just to see what time it was and she went
berserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and why was I
checking up on her.

Anyway, I have never broached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I
just didn't want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I
decided to really check on her. I decided I was going to park my Harley
Davidson Heritage next to the garage and then hide behind it so I could get
a good view of the whole street when she comes home. It was at that moment,
crouching behind my Harley, that I noticed that the rocker boxes on my
engine seem to be leaking a little oil. Is this something I can fix myself
or should I take it back to the dealer?

Ditch the bitch.

RTFM and grab your tools and get the gaskets from the dealer and do the job. But, if it is under warranty, have the HD Wrench do it.

Sometimes a leaking rocker box(marriage) can't be fixed!
