RE: cases leaking
Sorry to tell you, but you have to split the cases to reseal them. There is no other solution. You can do all of the work youself. You DO NOT have to pull the cam chest and oil pump. The cases can be split from the left, resealedand reset. Did it more than once myself. Just take your time and do it right.

RE: cases leaking
I've had some success by taking the whole bike and laying it on its side (no gas in tank and a base of car tires) Scrub the leak area with brake clean and a brush Sand area around leak The bike has to stay in this position for 2 days plus to make sure oil has stopped leaking thru Then I used a good 2 part epoxy Let it dry 24 hrs plus I did an old XL this way lasted 2 years plus
