Hey Skip - Yep - that sure is a leak and a half. Was it from new or close to new or did it develop it after a while? Reason I ask is I have had a couple of people contact me from various points of the globe recently with running issues on these and their issues have developed after a while - It could be another specific area for me to point them to look at.
Gotta admit, I love the European made 28cc engines that I fly now - never had any such issues with those. But that is off track for this thread.

The cleaning of the area before using the RTV that you mention - another good use for the Carb Cleaner and a scouring pad.
