Hoping it's going to do the trick, the leak was very minor so shouldn't be a problem now ... assuming I haven't made it worse!

Good to hear! There's no pressure there really so should last a lifetime

Cheers, fingers crossed 🤞. Having said that... there was zero warping to the cover so was expecting a straight forward fix. Happy days.

New rear tyre on the bike, after 8K miles since January. This one should see me through until Spring, depending how much i am able to get out and about the next few months.

Bad week! Unplugged my internet power adapters to try at a friends house as he had problems, now cannot get them to work back home.
Changed a disc on the car - now the ABS failure light on the dash keeps coming on. Think I am losing it.

You've probably just knocked the pad wear sensor wire? (or maybe ABS)

Well, further to my previous 'oil leakage' scenario... the clutch cover overhaul has stayed leak free but I think I have traced it to the inner cover as I have noticed that the 'tell tail' oil leak has reappeared after a good run! So it looks as though all my first efforts were in vain. I'm not 100% sure it's the inner cover yet as I've not had time to thoroughly inspect it but I can't see where else it could possibly come from. The drain bolt is nice & clean & leak free. All I can see is a droplet of oil clinging to the lowest part of the sump! I think a really good clean & degrease followed by the 'talcom powder trick is next.
