Leaking or sweating? Many engines sweat a little at that spot, doesn't do any harm. You can probably fix it by removing the cover, cleaning the gasket and reinstalling it with some liquid sealant on the cam end caps.

its definatly a leak and is more noticable after i have gone for a spin, im also pretty sure its comming from under the rockercover. it may be that the gasket was badly seated and if thats the case it could very well have been deformed. im thinking along the lines of caution, dont wanna go for a long play and have the engine leak itself dry. fortunatly at the moment i tend to be doing shorter runs.....

I'd seal it up to with some clear or black rtv silicon happens all the time but if you really need a new one go to your local dealer and ask for 6 of these 09161-11006 and one of these11173-30b01
