ST1100 Oil Leak

[vink]

Thanks everybody for this thread.
My 95 has the same dreaded leak.
I am not much of a swing arm pulling type but I may venture into that area.
I am greatful for the posts on this.
Currently rebuilding my carburetor cause I let it sit with out starting it for a year.
I was preoccupied.
Now I am in for a bit of work.
