Has this ever happened to any of you?

I began to notice a small oil puddle under my Mille, straight after a service, and at first an over-eager mechanic was blamed, but after some oil was removed, the puddle was getting bigger.
Upon a second inspection, the fault was foound: a minute crack on the oil tank, near the lower braket. Andy, my mechanic, says that he has seen that before, and it can get fixed.
Have you heard of it?
 
think its a common problem with the 04 bikes but not sure about yours. happened to my 04 bike and i fixed it with some Araldite bonding material (google) but after about 6 months it started again.

my advice is just replace the oil tank - less hassle. look for a breaker on ebay.
