In your opening remarks you say you ran your bike for 6 months or so, it ran fine, checked the bike over no signs of any leaks. THEN you added more oil because you thought it was low, now you have leaks. Is it possible that you have inadvertently over filled it and consequently over pressurized the engine case? Hence the weeping gaskets? One pint/half a litre doesn’t sound much but maybe it’s just too much. If you haven’t already I would drop that old oil and filter, put the correct amount of correct spec oil in, and no more, then maybe just maybe you might get away with it and the weeping gaskets will settle down. Honda give a spec for a reason and using stuff not in spec is a gamble. An incorrect oil could I’m sure cause leaks.
