I'm pretty sure there are no center case half gaskets.

The case halves are put together with RTV, yamabond or something similar.

Would u guys say that it is leaking from the case halves if it is
Coming out each end of the bolt area , and if so is there a simple
Fix,rather than having to pull the thing completely apart?

Can you take a few pictures of the leaking?

I've never heard of oil leaking from that bolt, not saying it doesn't happen though.
