G80 Top end oil feed query

Post by Phil Diment »

Just to ask if anyone knows if there should be a gasket where the external feed pipe to the cylinder head joins the crankcase; i.e between the flat plate through which the pipe goes; joined onto the crankcase by 4 screwe; and the crankcase itself?

There isn't one there at the moment and I can't see one in the recently bought gasket set I have; but I was just curious as there is a slight leak apparent.....

Many thanks,
Phil
