I recently purchased a 1985 BR....thing looks AWESOME and cranks right up just like the one I had when I was a kid....however....I cannot get the oil filter cover to seal off. She leaks oil everytime I crank it....changed the O-Ring when I changed the filter...thought that would stop the leak but to no avail.....any ideas on how to get this leak to stop would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There should be 2 'o' rings. The big one and then a pencil diameter one as I recall.
Just make sure the filter is in correctly relative to the spring etc.
That won't make it leak, but can starve the top end of oil.
I've used high torque silicon and let it dry so it compresses like a rubber band.
Shouldn't need it if the 'o' rings are ok.
