Buy a OEM gasket from Honda don't buy aftermarket gaskets Hondas are the best.

if it's the outer case, try taking the side case off...and see if most of the gasket is still on the case/motor..if so..get some hondabond..or yamabond..put some of this on the spot where it's leaking....try not to put alot on it..you don't need much to seal it..put it back together..it shouldn't leak anymore..as for a gasket period..i've used alot of after market gaskets..and never had any problems.

Which gasket is it, one of the crankcase cover gaskets or the center crankcase gasket? Most Hondas just use Hondabond for the center crankcase gasket, but the crankcase covers both use gaskets. I always buy new gaskets, but it's possible to use Hondabond by itself to make the gaskets. I've done it a few times and I've never had a leak.

I just used red Rvt gasket maker and it never dripped a drop.

I use to use RTV sealant a long time ago, until a piece broke off on the inside of the engine and stopped the oil pump up. Hondabond stays softer than RTV sealant and is less rubbery.

yep helmut..like you..i learned a long time ago..what that sealant does inside a engine after a short time..lol..sooo..i'm a firm believer in hondabond or yamabond now.
