[QUOTE="gbasky, post: 1224046, member: 86833"] Hi there Did spring oil change yesterday, as I prepare to bring my 04 out of hiberation. But when I checked today, there's single drop underneath bike, but on right hand side, away from where I was working. Drip appeared to come down from ('tho not out of) this x-shaped protruding thing (sorry, but I'm not techie - I have no idea what this part of the bike is) -- and I can't seem to add a photo (how do you use "my media" feature??). No leaks at filter or drain plug. While the outgoing oil from drain goes straight into the catch pan, i find it tough to "contain" all of the oil when I remove the filter. Some drips down and under - e.g., on to the pipes. So maybe the build-up of oil that shows in this pic is in fact accumulation of this and previous oil changes? What say others? Where do you think that solo drop came from? Greg Basky Saskatoon, SK CANADA [/QUOTE]
