A small oil leak is not going to affect the performance.

It'll only get worse though. Especially if you're high revving it. Sounds like it's time forna rebuild I'd a dual dam swap.

I rebuilt my single cam 240 years ago and the parts are rather cheap. I'll admit, the single felt like it had more pep, though the dual cam does make a little more power..

I would just rebuild the single cam for now..Make sure you have identified where it is leaking specifically.
