Engine Side Cover

[87 HJ60]

There's a bit of oil seeping from the side covers of my 2H motor.
Is there a gasket between the covers and the engine? Or before getting new gaskets (if any) should I just try tightening the bolts a bit?

try tighting them abit and then if that doesnt work replace the gasket and if its only a drop a day i say leave it

Yeah they often loosen up, so tight the bolts, wash the side and check if it leaks again.

Not a easy job to replace the cork gasket, so check everything before you do that.
