[QUOTE="rbentnail, post: 1430002, member: 13598"] Don't jump to conclusions, first you have to determine what it is. There's likely nothing you've done oil-related to leak from the triangle panel behind the front wheel. How cold has it been there? My '07 weeps a little coolant from the 90 deg. hose above the overflow reservoir when it's 35 deg F or below after it's been warm for a few days and I've ridden some. Always has, since new in Jan 2008. Most times it's right below the reservoir but sometimes from that panel too. Replacing the crappy OE hose clamps with regular ones and tightening them a little each spring seems to help. Never leaks if the temp stays above 42-45 deg. [/QUOTE]
