Finally found time to investigate this and it turns out that the gasket was kinked. This in itself wouldn't necessarily be a problem but it had also developed a hairline split - presumably because it was under tension.    To my knowledge, the rocker cover hasn't been disturbed since new so I guess it was sloppy assembly at the S&S factory? Or maybe a batch of out-of-spec gaskets? I think I'll check the other side just in case...

Be careful with these head bolts , S&S specify some very specific torque settings and tighten up sequence for these. Details on their website.

The new seals are made of aluminum coated with a Teflon kind.
