I can't tell. I do still have some warranty left.

Hard to tell precisely, but it appears to be coming from the cover gasket. Have your dealer diagnose it.

Yeah it's even hard to tell in person where the oil is coming from.

It really looks like the cover. I would just reseal that bastard myself

Man, I sure hope so. I don't see it leaking anywhere else on the cover though, but I don't know where else it would be coming from. I doubt it would splash upwards if it was coming out of that bolt. And it doesn't appear to be coming out of the hose whatever that is for.

I just saw a YouTube video on a device a guy says will fix the blow by issue. What do you guys think of this? It's certainly cheaper than a new pump.

The issue of blow-by has nothing to do with the pump.

You should also read this if you don't have the new pump and seal. - https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/00...f?v=1620848082

I took the tubes from my breather bolts off and replaced them with longer tubes. They run into a “T” and then under the bike. I ride hard, but very little oil actually gets bypassed. I’ve never been low on oil during an oil change.
