Hi Volley,
Yours isn't the infamous oil leak - Tom Cat has described that.
My Savage had an oil leak from the nuts that hold the head on but the opposite side of the head to yours. The oil would blow back onto the tool box. These are the symtoms of the infamous leak, but replacing the head seal cap (rubber bung!!) didn't cure it.
When I checked on the Suzuki parts list, the washers under these nuts are called gaskets. I bought 4 new ones, coated them with instant gasket, replaced the existing ones and cured my oil leak.
I'm sure you will cure your oil leak just as simply and cheaply.
Happy Savage riding.
