Hello everyone, I have my first bike here, a 1986 Kawasaki 454 LTD. Amazing bike.. Buy I'm having an oil leak. Sometimes it leaks, sometimes it doesn't. It's on how left side of the engine, and it seems to be coming from a hole. I'm not a mechanic but am learning more and more. I attached a link to a video.. If you have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate. It's a truly beautiful machine and I'd love to get her in tip top shape.

Most likely the Valve cover gasket outta place letting oil leak & pool than drip down.

Yes...check around the valve cover gasket and the half moon rubber plugs that are part of the valve cover seal.

I checked the seals this morning, and I couldn't find anything that caught my attention. The bike was in and it was running. When I get home I'll start her up and I'll see if I can find anything.
Thanks for the replies and information!!

Alright.. So I looked a little closer, and I found a leaking hose behind the left spark plug.. I adjusted that a little and it seems like the leak has gone away.
