[QUOTE="Snoopy49, post: 14119443, member: 138649"] Clean up the area with paint thinner and blow dry, the take a piece of toilet paper and press and hold it in the affected area. With any luck it will wick some of the oil up and help indicate the exact problem spot. It looks like you would have access to the backside of the cover if you removed the valve cover. A little soapy water brushed onto the outside and air pressure applied to the backside should show you the extent of the problem. Luckily it is not exposed to high pressure and is not near any hold-down fittings that may have cause a crack in the casting. Make sure you get with the dealer like the other members have suggested and get it documented. Do to the small easily accessed area affected, I would be hesitant to expose myself to all the potential problems that may arise after having the entire front cover replaced. In the end, it is your decision. Good luck This is a picture of a 2011 cover to show you the big picture with a little one. [/QUOTE]
