I discovered a fair amount of oil on my floor after a short ride to meet Shuey for Supper Sunday night. I traveled, maybe 7 mile at the most and just 2 miles to get home.
There is fluid on the front of the oil pan and cooling fins. Inside the front of the lower cowls.
Took the right side plastic off tonight to get a better look. No real sign of where it was coming from. Cleaned the water and clutch cover housings. Started the bike and let it idle for a good ten minutes. Nothing, nota drop. Increased the RPM's to about 3k, shortly a stead flow of what looked like oil came out from between the Water and Clutch housing. Next step with the help of Scooter on the phone, pulled the air box and inspected the valve cover gaskets, no leaks. Looked under the mat as best as I could. Did not see any fluids. Ran the bike again watching for upper leaks. Nothing. At the higher revs now I am getting coolant colored fluid from the same area between the two covers, NOT the ROUND weep hole.
Next step - pull the radiator and tighten hoses at the Tstat and R & R that "Mystery" plug.
Any one with the same symptoms that has a fix, please reply as I have a long planned trip to the Pacific ocean leaving on 9-12.
Thanks in advance, Kevin
