Unhappy Minor Oil Leak... Anyone Else ?

G'day guys, I've got what seems to be a minor oil leak on my 96 VZ800 ....

It seems to be coming from behind the front sprocket
I cleaned everything in that area really well, went for a ride and there it was again...

So, question time...

Is this a regular occurrence on this model ?
It looks like an easy fix... right ?

I have to change my sprockets soon anyway, so i thought I'd re-do the seal while I'm in there.... any pitfalls ?

Cheers
J

Ok, quick update...

Dropped into my Suzi Dealer this morning, $15 for the seal behind the front sprocket, 1 hours work (including cleaning all the crap out of there, and adjusting the chain) and its a happy, leak free Cruiser again...

Happy ending number 1.
