Had the same problem with an SE. Went to the Ness Big Sucker which eliminates those fittings. I'm real happy with it.

I guess this is the problem. I just went and took the bolts out of my Big Sucker and on the front there are rubber inserts on the adapter plate. No leaks!

The rubber inserts are not something that can be removed. There was oil behind the bolts.

PS I called my dealer to check on orings when he said there are none.
This is when I went to check my plate and saw the rubber on the plate.

Threads are letting it leak. Strange, mine has nothing in this area and doesn't leak. Try anything to seal the threads, loc tite might do it. Teflon around the threads might do it also.
