I found talcum powder super helpful for finding my leaks. Clean everything spotlessly, then talc it, then run the engine and watch close for the leak.

Never knew this was a thing until a few days ago after searching online. My main route of investigation is the repaired oil tank, I thought it was okay but there was seepage under the repair today. Would ordinarily buy new but looking at prices will see how much welding it up is.

What's been repaired on it?

The KTM oil tank bolt threads went (aluminium tank), so I took it to a machinist and he helicoil'd them all for me, sorted that issue.

Aluminium is hard to weld, so you'll need to find someone good.
