I think the bolts loosen up when the bike is new.
I did not have a leak there, but found the bolts VERY loose when I checked them at 2500 miles.
I also had a leak at the sprocket seal, loose bolts there as well.

Part of the new bike thing is going over ALL the nuts and bolts, as things heat cycle, they can loosen up.

Guess you never had an older Triumph, you would get into a mindset to check things every week, as despite locktite, lock washers, self locking nuts, something will end up loose over time.
