Fellas,
Excuse my terminology, if incorrect, and lack of a photo (for now).
I have a small oil weep coming from what I believe is called the cam chain idler bolts/mounting bolts. Not enough to quit riding, but enough to warrant sealing it up properly as soon as I am able.
These are the two 17mm nuts with the 10mm bolts inside of them located in the front of the engine directly behind the oil feed line. See attached pic (not my bike) Looks like I just need to replace the copper washer on the long 10mm bolt.
See links below, believe these are the parts in question?

Noticed a small oil weep coming from the copper washer/gasket (?) where the 10mm bolt goes in.
To replace the gaskets/washers; is this as simple as removing the oil feed line to access the nuts and bolts and simply replacing the copper washers?
OR do I need to remove the top end to ensure proper replacement and that all goes back together properly.
If so, I suppose it would be advisable to replace the cam chain guide while in there?
EDIT: I need to check the build/parts sheet from previous owner. Cam guide may have been replaced a few years back.
Cheers
