Are  the "piddles" oil or gas?  Oil would be OK, as SeaFoam will unsludge an engine, and sometimes the sludge acts as a seal. The good news is: SeaFoam may be able to swell the seals and gaskets in an engine, which means it may correct itself.  If it's the gas that's leaking, you'll want to fix that pretty quick. I just got done replacing the float bowl gaskets on my Shadow, as the one carb was leaking gas onto the exhaust pipe. Probably won't happen for the CB750, but leaking gas is a bad thing.

Glad "Fiona" is running better.  SeaFoam is great stuff.
