How many have seen issues like this?

2023 KTM 350 SXF with 35 hours on it now.
It’s weeping about same amount each ride. Pretty bummed! Hoping to take care of it though. Pic shows weep but I cleaned off seam with finger when I checked it after last ride.

Several have recommended RTV to fix and have done with success. Some say won’t work. 
Some said JB weld but would be miserable later down road. 

Have cleaned, checked, ridden, repeat several time. It is not from oil filter change or any residuals left from that stuff. Weeping from seam where shown in pics.

I just picked up some RTV to try but curious on y’all’s thoughts. Thank you for your time and help!

You likely have at least one of the following happening:

 

Not quite enough sealant used from the factory in that spot.

Porous cases.

Warped cases.

Clean area with brake parts cleaner, use yamabond sealant, on your finger and apply to area, let dry, monitor.

Looking at it seems like not enough from factory

Just picked up some permatex gray that they had near me (hopefully that stuff should be good) and going to try to take care of this
