				hi cargo so is it the seals around the top of the spark plug recess inside the rocker cover that have gone cos all spark plugs are dry.
or is there a more serious problem cos bike runs fine 
cheers

				What Cargo said - likely some one removed the wells doing a shim check but didn't put new O rings on - they are one use only so replace every time you disturb.

				MM is talking about the o rings at the bottom of the spark plug well/recess
I would reuse the top seals and apply a little sealer
