Oil loss

[PeteH]

there are a lot f places for the oil to be coming from.  You might try degreasing everything in that area and it might be easier to trace it down.

Ditto that...take all guards and covers off... clean up and  the problem should identify itself, just be aware that the sprocket cover has a habit of collecting chain lube then dribbling when the engines hot...

"Chain looks a bit dry" says he.
"I'll turn the Scottoiler up a notch or two" says I.
"I've got just the thing for you" says he.

Skooooooosh "and you can take all these with you" says he filling my pannier with several cans of Shell Chain Lube.
"But I've got a Scottoiler" says I 
"Never mind, it'll come in handy" says he, and it has but now I know he had a secret stash of Wurth

The difference being I don't pay for the Shell chain lube I do pay for the Wurth dry lube well kind of  :icon_wink:

If it's wet around the sidestand the gear selector shaft seal is the usual culprit followed by the gearbox output shaft seal behind the sprocket.

Take the advise; clean the whole area thoroughly with some white spirit, dry it off then keep an eye on it, it'll show.  If you think there's mileage in the filter suggestion, clean all round that too.  The amount you're using, it won't take long.

Before you start cleaning the crud off, take a good look for a clean area, if you are losing that much the cleanest bit wil be at least near where it's coming from.

Definitely looks like it's seeping between the pan and engine, right behind the sidestand. My thought is, I'm losing some and burning some, which makes it seem worse. Plus it's following the side stand and dripping off the spring instead of falling off the bottom of the oil pan into my skidplate.

I see a stain on the other side too, but no drips. I'll start by replacing the gasket at my next oil change and see where it goes next.
