Oil Leak!

[440ex2001]

I am leaking oil around the exhaust manifold. I put a new gasket and honda bond on the valve cover so I dont think its leaking. Does this mean my rings are bad?

does the bike smoke?

I'll bet it is the valve cover.

It doesnt smoke out the exhaust only when oil drips down on the manifold. I put a new gasket and honda bond on the valve cover. I hope its just the valve cover. I miss riding the thing i just got it back together after about a month and a half.

if the rings were so bad that enough oil was gettin by for it to be comin out of the exhaust then it would be smokin real bad and foulin out plugs.
its gotta be the valve cover, the hose on top of it, or a rocker plug.
guess theres the possibility the upper part of the head or valve cover is cracked right ther above the exhaust.
