I bought the aftermarket lower covers from MS Road & Race. They look nice but haven't install them so can't tell if they can stop the leak. I guess they can. Will let you know when they are installed around late February.

I haven't and the reason is that the leak was not serious, a drop in a month on the garage floor. I also figure out that I have to change the gasket anyway when I had my service last week, I had the valave adjusted. I put on a new set of locite red colour gasket and hope this time it will work better. I shall report back if I find any thing!
Get a good clean up and put on a new red locite gasket would be my suggestion before buyying a new set of covers, they are quite expensive! Having said that I like the anodized RED color on them though!!! May be next time....My project now is to have the Fan powder coated in RED like John has done.
Cheers!
