Default 1992 yamaha vx250 water leak

I have a 1992 yamaha vx250 that runs great. newer powerhead. alway take care of it. always flush after every use. recently had the cooling system worked on. i.e. new water pump, gaskets, thermostats yada, yada, yada. recently i noticed water seaping from below the engine around that skirt the goes between the engine cowling and the long shaft part of the motor. it looks like a plastic cover that is held on by a few screws. it is just under the the powerhead on the outside not the inside. well anyway when the engine is running I see water seaping from there. what could this be? is it serious? dod I need to have it looked at right now. engine runs cool and pumps water great.

thanks

Joe

Remove upper motor shroud, run motor on muffs and try to see where water is coming from. Might be a bad gasket on head or exhaust cover. Good Luck!
