[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 1310956, member: 6354"] Very likely that it's the seal on the output of the drive shaft, but your statement that it's forward of where you show in the picture brings up another possibility, which I actually went through, although not with that much oil. The cover of the rear balancer was loose on my bike for a while, actually had loose bolts! Oil would leak out and pool on top of the transmission, then drip out the side when it tipped over on the sidestand, looking for all the world like it was coming from the stator cover or the starter. If it hadn't been pooling on the top of the transmission I'd never have checked that cover, but that was the [I]only[/I] place up there that oil could escape from. Picture is from removing the engine for my shifting issue, but I've pointed out the cover in question. Throttle bodies have to come off for access.
