Well, I don't have a ticking noise but.....My 2012 Roadster is two weeks old, has 340 miles on it and I just noticed that oil is leaking out of the cylinder head in front of the engine just underneath the cam cover....Iam so unhappy i could cry...anybody else have a similiar problem?

Johnny, don't fret. Sounds like it's simply the gasket. Easy fix, if your dealers any good, you can make an appt. and have it fixed while you wait.

I sure wish it was just the gasket....I cleaned up the leak and started it up and watched it leaking out of the cylinder head from the little crevice under the cam cover....I have a brand new $15000.00 bike that isn't even broken in yet that needs major engine repair....not to impressed with Triumph.
