Joe, sounds like you have gotten advice from Gerry and are OK with the minor weeping.

That said, when I first got my RX3, I had a bit of oil weeping around the cyl head area on the riders right side. I went around, carefully and one by one unscrewed the smaller nuts around the head area, just getting enough space under the nuts to dab a bit of sealant under the nut with the tip of a knife, then retightened the nuts. Not sure exactly which nut(s) was the culprit, but ended up curing the weeping. I don't know exact torque and did not want to break any seal in the head area. But I figured if I just did one nut at a time, and avoided the main head bolts, things couldn't go too far wrong. All's still well after 8700 miles.
