Can you see where it's coming from (clean underside of engine, start up and peer at engine's underside (you perv, you !) and see if you can see where the drops come from.

Agree, clean and check whether or not it is coming from the gear shifter as sometimes the seal in there will go and oil will leak out around the shifter. Also make sure none of your oil hoses have come off as a few km's without oil in the cylinder ain't the best.

ha ha, actually I have managed about 30 Kms once on my DT175 without the oil hose connected. You could have sanded furnature with the piston when they took it out for a rebore!!
