... past one of the little O-rings at the base of the top studs through which the oil is fed up to the rockers, mine has had a slight weep from new. Nothing bad, but could I have heard about a very slightly oversize O-ring available as a replacement to cure this little niggle? It's virtually the same size, but just a few thou thicker. The bike is in bits, otherwise I wouldn't bother after 28years. :)
 
28 years? That's outrageous. I trust you will be sending a strongly worded letter to BMW to make them aware of your disappointment? I would hope they would at least meet part of the outrageous 65p cost in replacing these items...
