Oh Oh Leak from Tach Cable

so I seem to have developed a leak from the tach cable . . . bolt is either stripped or broken, I imagine, but don't want to pull it out just incase I can't get it back in.

actually went to a dealership to get a replacement bolt and they had no idea of size etc.

anyone? Bueller?

oh, and Friday I may pick up a new-to-me bike if the stars align . . .

There is an oil seal you'll need to replace. The bolt should come right out, then pull the cable.

There is also a gasket between the headcover and the tach drive. You can see it in the picture. Did you replace it when you had the cover off?
