    Hello,

    It's a "standard" leak, not for this engine but from some gasket spi, due the low runnings hours it can be hurt during the fixing or simply a default of the gasket.

    I hope the brand vill be ok to solve that fr warranty

    hi Karl

    This seal is affected by the crankcase positive pressure.  If for some reason it is high, above the recommended limit, it will weep some oil.  Please look at the installation manual and find the section on how to check your crankcase pressure.  It might be a restriction in your oil return line (tight bend perhaps on the oil line) from the crankcase to the oil tank, the result is a high crankcase pressure that will push the oil past the seal.  

     

    Cheers
