I replaced the crankcase gasket and I still have a small leak after shutting the bike off. Any clues as to where else the oil is coming from? Drain plug is snug, oil filter is snug, oil pan bolts are snug...I'm at a loss.

What you need to do depends on where the bolt broke. Is there enough of a stem left to get a pair fo vise grips on it? If so, then go to "Plan A". If not then do "Plan B" etc...
Please rate this solution. Thanks!

Its funny you should mention this but yes, I had its bigger brother the GS 850 G , same problem, Apparently, in my situation I did the same thing and went to the shop and let those butchers make it worse !!!, the way i found my leak was by washing the motor with a grease and oil cleaner , strayed the whole motor and wash it all off totally, then I turn her on and let her get to operating temp went for a few mile and came back and checked it, for me it was the head gasket the guys put on and i forced them to do it again,
I found out later that it was common with the suzi's of that model and ended up doing it myself, I used the original gasket and used a compound called gasket goo and it never leaked through out the 8 years i had it .
But before you do anything , surly they gave you warrant y on the work so take it back and demand they do it properly.
Cheers and ride safe

Hi, firstly look on left side near cylinder base for a cap !its not a bolt[way too big] & usually has a bar arrangement so you can get hold of & twist it!
dont mix oil brands! use a TOP quality oil
as its the only insurance you can apply to it!
[ cheap oil kills engines] use what you can afford! & stick with it!

Dry rotted gasket isnt likley in four months on that new a bike. Id check for a crack in the crank case, a very tiny one can spit a good deal of oil. Get it fixed though. If it is cracked and decides to split wider while your riding you could be suddenly riding with you rear tire running on an oil slick.

it sound like your fuel shut off valve is bad and the needle valve and set may need to be cleaned.
