Oil leak near starter motor

[SoCalR1200RS]

Hello!

Giving the old girl a good visual inspection and I noticed an accumulation of oil around and below the starter. I’ll attach a photo below. Has anyone experienced this? I’m hoping it’s just a rubber gasket or something easy to fix. I’m keeping my eye on the oil sight glass but so far the leak is small to have no perceived decrease. 


Thanks!

Looks like it's reference #6 in the print. Just an o-ring

Thanks Dave! I should have just looked at MaxBMW first lol.

Should be a very straightforward replacement. It looks like there is enough clearance to back the starter out without having to really disassemble anything. I’ll report back how it goes ??
