Recommendations for sealing to avoid oil leak

[kkkarinaaa]

I got a 2019 CRF1100L Africa Twin and noticed some oil leaking from the stator grommet. It's not pouring out but definitely enough to make a mess if I don't attend to this now. What's the most reliable sealant or method to stop the leak without having to replace the whole cover? Thanks.

Had a similar issue on my old pal's bike and a little RTV silicone did the trick. Clean the area well before applying and let it cure fully before firing up the engine again. Have you checked if the grommet itself is worn out? Sometimes it needs a full replacement instead of just sealing.

Permatex Ultra Grey is a good silicone sealant too. Agree with @mixed-ba99a9e there, just the clean the area well before anything else

I'm just seeing this thread and wondering if you got that leak stopped. For the CRF1000L models, a dab of Hondabond HT around the grommet usually works well if you prep the surface with brake cleaner first.
