SA owner's manual says check header bolts, sump bolts and rocker cover bolts. Did mine after a 100 miles, then 200 miles. Header bolts were the only ones that needed any tightening the second time.
One of the rocker covers blew oil out of one corner, so I cured this with a small amount of RTV to help the gasket take up the ripples in the cover. Pressed tin/chrome covers are not of the best quality, cast ones would maybe be better.
