out of the lower-most front-most part of the engine. (in between the two exhaust pipes)
looks too thin to be oil. i'm worried about my bike. :cry:

Around the oil filter cover? Could be in need of an o-ring.

A picture would really help.

I'll try to get a picture up later today.

okay, just looked at it. it is the oil filter cover. so hopefully it is just the o-ring.
It needs an oil change anyway so i'm going to do that and replace the o-ring.

*crosses fingers*

Sounds like a good plan. Be careful not to overtighten the nuts holding the oil filter cover. If you snap a stud, you'll just make things worse. :cry:
