Lost the Link... But look att this picture. There are 2 screws close to the bottom. Maybe tighten those a bit..

I can't see you picture, but all engines have evenly spread bolts.

On my S2R these 6mm bolts are listed at 9 Nm (if I read my shop manual correctly). Should be the same on yours, but that's just my understanding/opinion. As all around the internet - good intentions, but sometimes not professional  :-\

Sweet! My torque wrench starts at 20 nm so im gonna leave this to the pros. but it gives me hope that maybe, just maybe! They wont have to take the engine apart to re seal it! :P

Yo! An update after speaking to the shop. They said: The best fix is to take apart the engine and reseal it, but for a leak so small its not worth it unless there is more to be fixed while its apart. and its not currently, The best fix att this stage is to take a small file, and just drag it along the "notch" where its leaking, ever so little just to get some clean material. Then clean it and apply a thin layer of JB Weld or equal. So i just ordered a set of needle files and jb weld, i took of the oilplug today and letting it drain for a few days to make sure no oil keeps leaking while the JB weld is curing. If all else fail, They will take apart and re seal it for somewhere between 1500-2000â,¬ so lets hope this goes well :P 1 dollar is about 0,89â,¬ so... pray for me! :) And wait for pictures.

And its dry like a dessert! :D JB Weld For the win!
