My kawasaki bayou 220 has a leak of oil and I think that the leak is on the valve adjustment covers, but does that mean that I need to replace my rings?If you can help I would really appreciate it. Thanks

 

Those covers have an o-ring seal, it is real common for them to split and leak out the gap, or it was put on wrong and got pinched. It is a very simple job to replace them, get a couple from the dealer, should be some metric allen bolts holdig them on, worst case is you may need to remove the gastank or seat to get at the intake side.

 

This helped but is oil supposed to be getting in that area or be coming out the exhaust?

 

Do you mean oil is coming out the muffler? or just seeping around the exhaust headpipe?
It can leak down the front of the motor, and will end up all over the exhaust, if it is coming out the muffler, you got oil blowing by the valve seals and being sucked into the combustion chamber, and being blown out the exhaust.
