Did you recently torque your heads? This oil leak is usually a symptom of a
failed seal where there is a plug for the top center headbolt. The older
bikes have an aluminum crush washer which is usually pretty reliable. The
newer bikes use a rubber o-ring which is great until it gets really hot and
hard and loses its resiliency
No never touched them. Its all original. Seems to have started by itself.
Thanks for the info about the washers
