............ did you only smell it or see smoke after it had been sitting? ......
My leak was similar but it was leaking in the front onto the exhaust pipe. It would only last a short time. Then it would appear again after sitting for a couple of days. I was afraid of a catastrophic failure. I didn't notice any increase in oil consumption.
To those that have had the leak, where was it located, is there a pattern, did you only smell it or see smoke after it had been sitting? I ask because I rode today for the first time in about 3 weeks, and I had a slight oil smell and some smoke which appeared to be rising up from the right side of engine. It didnt last very long, and wasn't all that strong, smelled nothing when I was riding or when I was parked in the garage with bike running upon my return. Could've been something on the header, I will know better after the next start up/ride. I did search first by the way.
Interesting......I could swear the smoke was coming up from the right side. It was not for very long nor was it very bad, the bike had sat on side stand for 3 weeks "which is rare".
Mine was predominately from the right side as best I could tell. Mine was a head gasket issue and it took them 2 tries to get it fixed.
