Default Raptor engine case leaking oil

Since getting my Raptor back together I have developed a very small leak where the cases split on the bottom of my engine. There is no way I am splitting cases just too repair a small leak. I have an idea for the fix....but has anyone had a similar problem and fixed it with a particular product? Suggestions please? Thanks!
Gary

did you put yamabond on the case before u put it back together if u didnt you really should and if u did then just take some dry off the leaky spot first and then spred some of the yamabond over the leak i dont know if this will work but its worth a shot

I had the same problem, put the bike up on its rear grab bar and clean the surface off with brake clean, carb cleaner or alcohol and let it dry very well. Then get some clear silicone and spread it across the bottom of the cases where they match up. Worked for me....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

If it only leaks while it's running the o-ring may be damaged and I doubt that you'd be able to seal it. If it leaks sitting there that's a different story.
