Are you sure it's not coming from the dipstick?  Mine seems to leak a little from there every now and then even though the gasket looks fine.

I have a small leak on mine -- appears to be the base gasket.  I'm not motivated to change it just for a small leak, so I just watch the level.  If it isn't leaking substantially, don't sweat it -- enjoy the ride!

I'd say the base gasket is more likely the culprit than the top of the side cover, although the pressure inside does increase a little when the engine's hot, which could in theory contribute to a side leak.   :dunno_white:

i understand how you feel.  i have been having carb/fuel problems that have left me stranded twice.  to make matter worse i crashed her today.   stuff like that can get you down but it is part of the sport i guess.  live and learn but most of all keep your head up :)

Check the little rubber plug on the back of the cam chain tensioner.

And, check your oil level.

As far as the surging, you may want to check for a loose or broken wire.  I had the one at the negative terminal break on me last summer.  IIRC, I noticed some surging on my ride into work, maybe even the day before, then on the way home it got real bad and died on the highway.  I thought I had run it out of oil or something at the time

On a savage ... the oil galley to the head goes through that gasket. On a GS ... nothing ... so you're just unlucky. Gasket gave up I guess.
Cool.
