Leaking oil from rocker box/shaft screw
New issue. Geesh. It seems to never end. Is it common for it to leak from here? Before I start ripping **** apart. Is there an easy fix. I looked at the manual, it suggests taking the rear cylinder and rocker box out together due to tight space. I get it! Couple of weeks ago while fixing electrical issues, I pulled the oil tubes to replace the gaskets. I noticed the oil tubes themself were clogged solid, so I cleaned them up and reinstalled. Probably wasn't leaking at the rocker because it wasn't getting oil at all. Now it's getting oil and leaking.
Would replacing the O-ring do the trick? What about the shim? I don't see how but i'm going to ask first... If I pull the shaft screw, is that going to f-up my valves in any way where they will need readjustment?
Thanks in advance

leaking oil from your rocker box especially rear rocker box is very common . they are very prone to leak more so then larger harley engines for some reason. and odds are when you replace the gaskets they will leak again.
