Advice please. I see oil dripping from the bolt where you adjust the balancer. It's not much, but I don't like it. If it is an easy fix, I'd rather fix it.

It would seem there is an o-ring on that bolt that probably needs replacing, but from the pictures on the parts list I can't see how deep in the bolt it is. Is it possible to remove this bolt without messing up things on the inside?  I know there is a warning to not loosen it by more than one complete turn to adjust. Or will I be able to turn the bolt out enough to reach the o-ring?

Thanks.
