If it's a KTM motor that you have, and it's leaking about the kickstart adjusting bolt with odd looking head on it. Then you may have a cracked case. Look for a small hairline crack near the bolt, possibly migrating across the case to the rear engine mounting bolt. If this what you got, you are not alone. A welder with experience in magnesium can repair it.
