Valve/Rocker gasket oil leak? Sputtering too.
Hey all, I have a 2007 xl1200l sportster (5700miles) and it looks like I have a small oil leak near the front cylinder rocker cover.
I did some research on the forum and I am 90% sure that it needs a replacement gasket.
I have also been experiencing a sputtering on startup with a hesitation when popping the throttle. I assume it is just warming up, but there were a few smoke pops that came out(not really a backfire).
Please let me know if you think that is it.
FYI: I recently did a 5000 mile service with new oil and spark plugs.
