Oil Tank Leak?

[Ruggybuggy]

Anyone ever have a leak from their oil tank? Just wondering how common this is and what causes it. I went to go for a ride today and noticed a smal drip of oil on the garage floor. I pulled the right side cover off and found oil running down the right bulk head where the tank mount too. Oil is running down the lower mounting tab. I do have a spare tank and will change it out tomorrow. I'll post pics of the crack on the tank.

OMG did you take that PCV valve yet? Sorry not funny. Have a look at the bottom of the tank they're known to crack around the flange.

Wouldn't surprise me if it did spring a leak. They seem to be made out of pop can-thick aluminum.

Anyone get one repaired?
