There the pipes that take oil upto the camshafts.

If its leaking from there changes are the camshafts arnt getting enough oil

I have no idea, if you said your sure thats where the leak comes from then thats all I have to go on.

They have a rubber o-ring behind them (7.8 x 2.2) commonly available from Honda.

You could try tightening them up but id just replace the o-rings in them.

Sort the generator / charging system out first though, that:ll be the most expensive and you wont be able to ride too long before it dies with it all melted.

Dont ride it if the oil ways are leaking though, the cylinder head wont have enough oil and itll wear the camshafts down.

Neo has it all covered mate... :ugeek: :rocks:

Get some O-rings, of the size that Neo told you...

Change them over...tighten the bolt, but not too tight.

Sounds like your altyernator is knackered too..so replace that lot, get it back in and ride it!!

If got the oil sliver pipe off , I can't take it out with out take carbs off or water pipe running between the engine . There is no o ring were the leak is unless it fell out when taking it off but that's very unlikely ,
I just wanna make sure because of the lack of view I have :( does the o ring fit in engine or pipe ? And dies any one no a part number ?
