Lister Based Generators / Re: ST3 leaking "small" amount of oil

Agree with those who say if it doesn't leak much, ignore it and wipe up afterwards. Rocker covers can be removed and re-gasketed, but almost any other leak requires
head removal, so unless you plan a de-coke and valve grind, don't bother. the D shaped O rings between head and pushrod case usually harden and need genuine
replacements,so don't disturb without cause. Have recently rebuilt an ST3, and the cost of the gasket set alone would buy a lot of oil!
