At 7800 miles have notice oil on the back fins of the motor.
Looks like there is also oil coating the bottom inside of the fan housing. This morning a drop fell on the top of the clutch cover. Also a few spots on the belt cover. Hard to see in there, but used an inspection mirror, looks like seepage from rocker cover gasket.
So I was going to try and re-torque rocker rear rocker cover. Does this sound right to you all ?

Re-torque won't help. Must replace all rocker box gaskets. Should be a warentee. I had mine done at 5000 mi. under warentee.
