Oil Tank Damage and Repair
This one from a 2001 1200S model was leaking from the area of the bottom stud. The metal near the stud was cracked and the stud loose where it was welded.
You can use a very large heavy duty washer that fits over the stud and weld it on to reinforce the area after first cleaning it and repairing the original crack. 10)
