engine case using copper gasket instead of fibre gasket might work better.

Not my quote
I have three bikes that drip a bit.
One has no carb filter and jetted on the rich side. Blow-back runs down to the floor (instead of being caught by a filter), like a few drips or so of oil (fuel evaporates before hitting the floor) over a week after riding.
Another has a few drips leak from idk where between the cases. PO rebuild with a paper gasket.
Another leaks from the clutch cover/lever. If you're seeing oil on the tire I'd suspect that. Definitely worth inspecting. Oil on the bottom of the lever is a tell.
Older cases can be sealed pretty damn well with VERY LITTLE sealant and a fiber Piaggio gasket.
There's also the rubberized aluminum Athena gasket.
