Hi,

Relatively new here, and I'm not very mechancally inclined, so please bear with me. (also, can't figure out how to search the forum, so if this has been covered as much as blue pipes, please be nice!)

I have a 2006 Bonneville Black. coming up on 2000 miles, ridden most days that are aobve 25 degrees, about 8 miles each vay on my commuts, and occasional weekend trips to the store. about 50/50 highway - street riding.

When I took it in for the first service (around 650-700 miles), there was a small oit leak coming from the rear cam cover. that was fixed by the dealer, under warranty, saying there was a wrinkle in the gasket when it was instaled at the factory.

Now, 4 months and 1000+ miles further down the road, I've got the same problem from the other cam cover.

Dealer said bring it in & he'll fix it...

Is this a common problem on the 790cc engine? Do I have a lemon? (doubt that...no other problems) Or does this engine just always leak oil?

Thanks
