Since I did the 600m service at my local dealer my bike has been leaking oil occasionally. I talked to the tech and he said if it was on the left side of the bike it was probably just overfilled a bit and after it bubbled off it would be fine. I have narrowed it down to only happening when I am at high-revs and so I thought it was just "bubbling off" as he had said.
Today I was tearing the bike down to put in a power commander and a few other things and got to cleaning up all the oil that had leaked out, so I decided to run the bike at high revs for a bit and see if I could verify the source of the leak. Well it doesn't seem to me to be coming from any place where oil should be "bubbling" out of rather it seems to be coming from the front of the engine near the radiator. When I was looking at it I noticed something that seemed out of place. I am somewhat mechanical but have never taken an engine apart, bike or car, so I need someone who has experience with these engines to tell me if this should be there, and if not why is it there? If yes then based on where this leak is coming from what should I check / fix next?!?
Thanks!
