How big of a job is it? I’ve had some oil loss (that I thought was the rear main until I saw how wet this area is), so I feel like I need to do all of these seals also. But the wife is getting tired of all day cruiser maintenance jobs!I just did my 94's head cover gasket and it turned out it was leaking from pretty much everywhere. The head cover gasket was shrunken and brittle, the spark plug tube gaskets were all leaking and rock-hard, and the half moon FIPG was failing. The materials just aged out.
It was hard to pin down because it was lots of smaller leaks, not one big obvious leak, and much of it was under the plastic trim pieces. The oil was coming up the tubes and running down the channel to the back of the engine, blowing around making a mess as it went.
Pop those trim pieces and you may see an obvious source.
The hardest part for me was the spark plug seals, they had perished & broke up when removing them, but the steel part of them was wedged in tight.
