Might be obvious but make sure the crankcase vent is unplugged.  Excess
pressure in the crankcase can case oil to come out of places it wouldn't
normally

 Is tightening a possibility.  What options do I have
other than pullung the engine, or just carrying a lot
of oil with me?

I know this is a common problem with roadsters, but
luckily my 1600 never did this, other than the usual
drip spot after weeks of sitting.  How much leak is
"acceptable" to most of you guys?
