BMW R1200GS
I just bought a 2013 R1200GS LC, and 30km's into it I was getting a strong fuel smell, I stripped all the plastics and noticed there is a leak from what appears to be the rubber near the return pipe on the filler cap. I stripped the filler cap and clean it and the rubber as this bike as seen some dirt.. but it still leaks. Now even when I move the bike side to side fuel leaks around the rubber?

Is it as simple as ordering a new rubber from BMW? Any advice???

Many thanks..
