Grrr... my Girly is marking the driveway!

My 2006 Girly has had a bit of an oil leak since I got her in July.

I replaced the o-ring on the alternator position sensor. That helped.

I replaced the oil pressure sensor and sealing rings. Helped for a while but the leak came back. I snugged it down last night and wiped the case clean. It was pitch black when I got home tonight but I think I saw a trace of oil... 

Iv'ed studied the manual  and aside from the pressure sensor switch and return line from the head I don't see where else the oil could come from...

The oil shows up on the flat area directly behind the cylinder block then goes left and down the side of the case behind the fuel tank vent hoses.

I haven't had the tank off to look down at the area but I'd love to hear your learned perspectives...

Check the engine breather hose is connected to the airbox on the right rear of the airbox.
This is accessible by removing the black filler panel on the right tank side.
Some pictures may help.

This is only a guess but the washers need to be replaced that seals the oil pressure switch. They are simple copper washers. It may be a good idea to lift the switch cover and clean all oil off with some petrol or degreaser and run it again as a small amount of oil goes a very long way. At the very most the switch may have sprung a leak which means replacement. This switch must not be over tightened as it can warp and leak or even break, if replacing anything in this area a torque value should be observed.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I have replaced the pressure sensor and included new copper washers since those photos were taken.

It was dark when I was riding home last night but I thought the car headlights were showing a bit of the trademark green Motul oil... To be completely honest it may be just left over that I wasn't able to clean off.

Just wanted to know if there could be any other potential source in that area...

I solved the problem by snugging down the sensor. No fuss, no muss. Best of all no oil!
