Re: oil leak help
i reckon either dodgy cam cover seal dizzy seal or head gasket, theres 3 oilways at the front of the engine, could be goin there

or the worst case senario the crank oil seal has gone sending oil up the fly/clutch and spraying all over the inside of the bell housing, but then you would notice oil coming from everywhere around the gbox

Re: oil leak help
is it running down from the hole in the side of the head?, where there is like a spark plug reservoir with a drain hole the gearbox side. and running down the side by the sensor and onto the gearbox,
then it could be ur rocker cover gasket gone.
take a lead out and look in there to see if there is any oil sat there,

Re: oil leak help
I had a bad rubber o-ring in the dizzy a while ago that caused a leak but the oil was messier then what you describe and all over the parts under the dizzy. Just a suggestion.
How about a pic with the oil in it. That way might help pin point the problem?

I got my one from Suzuki as i couldnt seem to find an exact match.
If you have a dealer near you thats my advice.
