When I was washing my Savage today I noticed a drop of oil on a cooling fin on the left side of the engine immediately below the head at the top of the cylinder. The bike was brand new two months ago and only has 2600 miles. Is this common? Could I have blown a gasket? Might tightening the head bolts solve the problem? I have never seen a drop of oil anyplace before on this motor. What a disappointment!!
