Does it have a paper gasket or threebond?

Personally I'd remove it, clean it all up and threebond it back. If you lean the bike over to the right you shouldn't need to drain the oil but you'll need to devise a means of pulling the cover away from the alternator magnets and make sure you remove the 'hidden' screw by the clutch slave.

I doubt there's a specific torque for the bolts, just a good firm 'tight' without going silly IMO.
