seem to have a oil leak at the bottom of the dip stick tube thing, only seems to leak when it's up to pressure
any ideas on how to fix it myself as I can't afford to take it to Steve 8090 at the mo

Number 18 on the ETKA diagram above has a pipe running from it to the air filter. Remove pipe from air filter end and ensure its not blocked as this is the crankcase breather pipe. Check its not blocked at filter end as well. If it is, pressure will build up in the crankcase and push oil out anywhere it can. Remove blockage, problem solved!

Jonhy,
our was leaking from there too....and we removed the dipstick, cleaned, replaced the little o ring.....and it still leaked under pressure...
removed and replaced a partially collapsed breather tube.....no leak
Hope that helps
