I had a couple of them. Some of the oilpan bolts were leaking and a
couple of the crankcase bolts in front were leaking. Actually, they all
might still be--I haven't checked. I took the bodywork off, hit the
engine with degreaser, hosed it down, let it dry, and started the bike
up and ran it for a while to see where it was leaking.
All the aforementioined bolts were loose, so I tightened them up. Not
sure if that's your problem, but it could well be.
Laters,
Brian
