Hi I have been told after inspection of my inner case that there is a chance that I might get leakage in the area I have marked with red felt pen can some one tell me the fix for this .
Thanks Bill

There is a steel insert the case is cast around.
If the case and insert have separated you have to replace the case.
If the case and insert are firmly attached don't worry about it, it may weep oil or it might not.
There are enough real problems with old bikes it is not worth worrying about issues like this.
