oil leak on 1100 GS

Anyway….. this oil leak… my view is that oil is getting past something it shouldn’t…

HTH
 
Wash it properly then ride it and see where it is weeping from... They're not perfect, various seals as mentioned and original metal gaskets could weep/ leak when you've been caning it... My experience etc...
 
You’re taking it easy then? If you were really on it, the 1290 would be chasing you.

Thanks for that, the thread above has introduced more things to check, which works well with a cam chain tensioner replacement i was planning...

Is it a sweep stake?
I’m going with a corroded alloy sealing washer on the cam chain tensioner,
Or hedging bets on the oil cooler feed or temp sensor sealing washer.
Let me know what I win.😁😆
