Bleeding Duc update

So I dropped the bike off this morning, just beating the rain and to my surprise, they wheeled it right inside as soon as I got off the bike.
Also to my surprise they actually worked on it and found the problem.
To my relief, I guessed somewhat correct and the leak was coming from the counter shaft seal behind the front sprocket, an easy fix. There was mention of another possible problem spot (base gasket/sealent). If it starts to leak from there then I'll be out of a bike for a while case they'll have to pull out the engine, crack open the cases and repair the leak. I'm hoping that this quick fix will hold cause I really don't wanna be stuck w/o a bike right at the beginning of the season.
The only bad thing now is that I'll have to ride home in what they're saying will be torrential t-storms later this evening. I really thought I was gonna mta my way home today...
