you need to wipe everything down and then look for the source of the leak, could be the breather pipe.. but i'm guessing,

did wipe everything down, we think it may be a very small slow leak in the oil cooler... still confussled tho

If you wipe it all down and dust it with talc the oil leak will show much clearer

hi,


have you taken all the fairings off for a better view?


could be coming from top of the engine where the engine cover is?

 

yeah took it apart ran it on the paddock stands to see if it was a pressure thing, no leak, ordered a new oil cooler anyways, because the temp was a little high, but pressure was fine, so found one cheap should be here soon, see if that fixes the problem....
