Did a Haynes search and found two photo's who explain it. Seems that Yamaha made a somewhat rough shaped hole. The dent I thought I made is also supposed to be there and it makes the oil that is traveling towards the oilseal drip down. New oilseal goes into place, problem solved.

happy newyear

Hi guys! I just replace my starter and after riding around the block the bike was leaking oil. your comments were really helpful, i will check Ace hardware for the O ring and if anybody knows what the part# is for gasket for the cover where the starter chain is i will appreciated.

thanks...
