rumboogy Posted February 13, 2011 #1 Posted February 13, 2011 Just noticed this morning that I have a small leak right under the engine...I haven't checked it out yet, but it feels like oil. How frequent is it for the newer bikes to spring a small oily leak. I am hoping it is either from the filter or the plug...just not tight enough. I will check out this evening. Wally
Freebird Posted February 13, 2011 #2 Posted February 13, 2011 The first thing I would suspect would be the rear shock.

Wally This just does not happen on these bikes. Obviously check the drain plug and look on the bottom surface of things to try and see where it is coming from. Give us better information on exactly where it is, and we can probably help point you to the likely suspects. Goose
Greener Posted February 13, 2011 #4 Posted February 13, 2011 Could it be the air box overflow hose? Too much oil maybe?
RedRider Posted February 13, 2011 #5 Posted February 13, 2011 Give us a few additional pieces of info and we can likely diagnose this issue. 1) Where exactly is this drip coming from? Front of engine, mid engine, ... 2) What is the fluid? Oil, something like ATF, antifreeze,... 3) Have you recently done/had an oil change? 4) What is the oil fill height in the window? Likely not a big deal (unless it is the shock - not a big deal, just expensive). Let us know and we will be glad to help. RR
