Brand new bike, oil leak urgh

[Hoffnungslos]

Evening everyone, hope Santa was good but even more important, hope the weather is still ok for some riding where you are in the UK.

Had the Triumph Street Scrambler out on Christmas Eve for the longest ride yet. Was up and down the carriageways of Aberdeen in and out of the twisty farm roads. Total of about 160 miles so we have 184 on the clock. Went to take her out yesterday, wouldn’t start and oil needed refilled. Done that without even thinking of looking down below.

Behold, today directly below the bike is an oil puddle! Would be exactly where I think the oil sump would sit. Does anyone have any slight idea what this could be? Or if any other recent Triumph bike model owners have had the same issue?

Cheers

Does it have any impact damage

brand new bike = dealers problem

Not if it's got a hole in the sump, hopefully just a gasket or seal

Can’t imagine it would have fella, il go down and get another look at it but it’s been ridden softer than my misses

All looks good underneath, gave it a wipe to make sure the small amount of dirt wasn’t hiding anything.

Puddle on the paper was just today, oil gauge is now empty when it was up to the manual advised level this morning. Oh well, off to the dealership

Is it leaking from the plug area mate? Hope you get it sorted without much fuss

Ring the dealer tell them it's seized they be happy when it's running and just a drip
