Leaking!

[cb1300rider]

Hi All

Finally getting my NTV ready for the roads, a few bodge jobs along the way but hey ho its only a winter hack.

I have noticed I have a leak, an oil leak i presume.
My photo points where its leaking from. Valve cover the Haynes manual says. Anyway looking on wemoto i see you can buy new valve cover gaskets.

Firstly leaking from these 2 areas does it indicate anything bad?

To solve the leak would it be as simple as replacing these 2 valve cover gaskets?

Your advice and opinions as always will be much appreciated

Thanks

Unlikly to be anything more serious than the gaskets going brittle (unless the engine has covered a very high mileage)

Easy enough to do once you remove the tank & airbox.

You might as well check the valve clearances while you have the rocker covers off.
