A good project for this weekend--thanks for the suggestion as I didn't
really know where else to look. I do think it's the sump cover--it's
just frustrating the MI has the gaskets on backorder.
I didn't use synthetic as I thought it could cause a leak.
I added 340 ml of oil (I think it was that) plus the 20 ml of moly. I
just got the bike a couple of months ago. The small manual said 230 ml
for the rear end. The large manual said 340 and Guzziology said 340, so
that's what I added. I couldn't have been off more than a few ml.
