stopping to inspect everything i found the left side of the engine was soaked as was my foot, i did have a snot rag so i wiped down the motor & paid attention where oil was coming from, it was from the headgasket, it doesnt leak until i get up to 45-50 mph or if i get the rev's up, it wont leak if @ low rpm/mph. is there a good kit that has all the gaskets i will need? i might as well do a "top end" gasket refresh im thinking, please help!!!

Buy OEM Kawasaki gaskets if you value oil tightness. They don't sell a kit though, so you have to piece together everything you need separately.
