I haven't used my RT (1150) for about a month, but just moved it and spotted some oil on the garage floor, just a little bit.

Looked under the bike and there is oil on the front of the cat and it appears to be dripping from there.

Shone a torch up to try and see where it is coming from but hard to make it out because of all the bodywork. The bottom of the engine is dry, nothing there so I guess it could be gearbox oil, it definately looked like it. I had a new clutch and gearbox input/output? shaft fitted about 9 months ago.

Any ideas?
 
Took off the offside fairing panel to get a better look.

I looks like it is leaking at the front, so I guess at the flywheel not at the clutch.
That figures as the clutch has not been slipping at all, thank goodness, seeing as it is a new one.

At least my trusty old 1100GS still works:D
 
It might be the oil pressure switch. Look at the front left of the engine at the very bottom. Easy job and cheap to fix.

My oil pressure switch is leaking too :(

Did you just replace it with a new one?

Ta.
