I was busy at work and got mind done by an ex BMW friend. The shaft was also gone. I had asked him to replace the lot but he ordered the repair kit then had to go back for the rest, all despite my early insistence that he order and put in the lot.
Anyway when I was picking up the bike he told me it had a very slight drip and to keep eye on it and on the oil level. After a few days use it stopped and has not been a problem since. Its done lots of miles and motorway runs since. I topped up coolant at end of May and has not needed any since.
When I picked up the bike he had said that if it didn't stop he would do it again as he knew about the risky seal and the ceramic seal. The initial leak was about a teaspoonful. All is good now. I was a bit sceptical at the time but I know him over 40 years and he doesn't drive cars so I don't question his judgement. From experience he is always right and if its not he will fix it.
If all in indeed new as it should be going back in to do the seal is not so difficult. Get them to do it.
