I got tired of the oil mist all over my muffler cover and oil dripping down the side, and took it in. The service guy said the only way this would not be a warranty issue is if there was some evidence of gross abuse, for example if they started the job and found a screwdriver had been jammed into the window/case gap. Otherwise, he said it would be hard to imagine it not being covered under Honda's warranty. He looked up the part, and there is no indication the sight glass, backing cup or seal are separate from the right engine cover. They are pressed into place at the factory where the cover is made, so they would have to change the entire right cover, which would include a new water pump, and several other parts not in question. A pretty absurd waste, and I'm not into unecessarily replacing proven-functional things that aren't broken with new, unproven parts. But the bike goes in two days from now for them to fix it.
