Don,
   If you mean where the pipe slips over the flange that is bolted to the cylinder, there is no packing, the springs hold the pipe in place.

Don, I've noticed alot of blow by on my souped up  pentons @ that location.  Not sure if its the fit, age or the spark arrestors.  Probably the synthetic oil has alot to do with it too.
 Mista you won't believe what that leak will do to the rest of the bike, wow
