motorcycle
i am leaking oil from a whole on the right side cover under the points cover,on bottom and right above the shifter and next to the word magnesium. this hole has a bolt coming thru it, maybe some sort of adjusting screw? is there a gasket,o-ring or groment that goes in this hole or do i take it off and the o-ring goes on something goes behind the cover. prevouis owner had silicone all on this hole.
thanks

Answer
That bolt is the cam chain tensioner locking bolt.  It probably has an o-ring inside.  I don't recall anymore how that is sealed and the parts catalog doesn't show it.  The local honda shop will have better information than I have access to.
