Might be something ini that theory - Mine doesn't leak from the cover but a fair bit goes (or went) past the rings.
There is a tube that fits inside the filter, and locates into a recess inside the cover. If a ham-fisted "mechanic" tried to pull the cover on using the screws when the tube wasn't properly located, it could distort the cover.
IF Motorad can get their act together (or even better, get my bike back together!)* I should have no more oil consumption issues and I'll be able to report back on the cover leakage
*bike delivered to Motorad on Monday - "should only take a day"
call on Thursday - "waiting on the barrel back from the engine reco shop, will call you tomorrow". Call them today - "should be able to collect it tomorrow"
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.
