I have started to pick up the scent of oil on exhaust. I have not pulled the lower fairing but did see this using a flashlight. This is sort of below the shift linkage and slightly in front of the shifter shaft on the left side. There is no oil at the shifter shaft seal and I can't see where this is coming from. I don't see anything else in the area that should hold oil. Any ideas?
Here is an engine on the bench, laying on it's side.
the black arrow points to the weep hole in the waterpump.
Using a mirror and a flashlight, you should be able to see it from the floor.
if there is a drip coming from that hole, you found the place.
