Default Arrgg...STR cam seal is leaking (i think)

so changing my oil today i noticed a drop of oil hanging from the bottom edge of my STR cam seal plug i replaced 1 month ago. DAMMIT! That means i have to get back in there and load it up with Hondabond!

:eh:Aren't the STR seals supposed to be better than stock? That's screwy.
:happysad: I feel sorry for you.

LT6916, did you open up your valve cover and put new honda bond on your STR? Please let us know if your STR leak problem has been solved. I am trying to decide whether to buy STR or Golden Eagle.
