could filling with too much oil cause a leak?

[hydra]

i've been keeping a close watch on my leak. at the moment, 70 mi of riding and the top of the case fills up with enough oil to fill about 3 of the little rows. i've been bringing cotton balls with me and i'll soak up the oil every time i stop. kind of a pain but i'll be getting speeddog to fix the leak in another 2500mi when i'm due for my next valve adjust.

thanks for posting your leak zipper and keep us posted...

So I got my S4 with leaky gaskets over to the dealer here (Fast by Ferracci) who said it  was going to cost anywhere from $950 to $1,000 to repair the bas gasket  (gulp).  The mechanic suggested the failure has more to do with years than miles (only 4,300 on mine; 2,000 of them being mine.)  It is also going to take 2 weeks to get the parts.  Kind of a bummer...

Parts?
good to see that dealerships are on the ball enough to have a head gasket in stock. They should be able to do the job in 5 hours (vertical cylinder only) with out a problem.
parts =
1 base gasket
1 head gasket
2 exhast gaskets

I am guessing they are changing both base gaskets at that price.
don't they sell big bore kits? they should keep gaskets on hand to do those jobs.
Failure due more to poor choice of base gasket sealer on ducati's part.
