    put the bike on the side stand and take the covers off and have a look at the gaskets, then use a product called hlyomar (from repco etc) and rub that over the gasket - it works wonders.

    if the gaskets are gone, replace em

    Edit - if its the sump gasket, you'll need to drain the oil, if its the clutch cover you should be ok without draining the oil.
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    The plan is to do the clutch anyway, so that gasket is going to have to be replaced anyway, it looks like someone else has siliconed it before today. I am picking sump gasket here, but who knows really. Will have to clean it up to see exactly where is is coming from first. Whatever I wont be riding her till it is fixed. Best I get on with it really, can't waste this weather.

    WHy would a gasket simply let go like that though?

    they dont last forever, and need replacing when they break.

    If its been siliconed, then i'd susspect that "gasket" first.

    Check the oil level in your bike and top it up (if it needs it) and it'll be 100% fine to ride - but im assuming your bike is a weekend warrior so no real need to ride it with a tiny leak.

    If it's been siliconed ... it looks like it already had "let go" at some stage. Even silicone does not last forever ...

    You would have to either drain the oil or put the bike down on the left hand side

    It is and you may get away with that but I think on the 550 (basically the same motor) I still had to drain the oil
