Try the o-rings on the stud nuts first. Mostly like a miracle to cure oil weep.

Hold it - just re-read the post, you mean the cam cover, don't you?
You should get the gaskets as a single part at your local Zook dealer. OEM parts are best anyway.

I bought one for my 1000sz from Crooks Suzuki 01229 822342..............they had 2 in stock at the time, I nearly bought both, they are only made of laminated steel anyway.
Some people say you can spray your old one with some VHT paint and then re-fit them and jobs a good un!

Thanks guys...I've ordered one through Suzuki Halesowen..Thanks for info. PS Being a novice suzuki owner on Pedda's advice I googled 'Zook'. You'll be amazed what that brings up. (Pedda...I now know what Zook means!!!!)
