I have found oil around the gear lever area on my R1150RT (See photos). Has anyone got any ideas where it is coming from? I want to try and fix it while I have got the fairing off.
Thanks

R1150 oil leak, any ideas where is it coming from?

Might be worth checking the camchain tensioner bolt behind the left throttle body. If it's not tight enough I have found that it can cause oil to be flung around.
Just nip it up a bit if needed.

RTs are lovely in that they hide all these little weeps... I've had a reasonable weep/ leak from the rear crank seal which will run into the flywheel and get flung around the outside of the bell housing which is a dry joint so can weep oil... I didn't get onto the clutch and I rode for many a mile like that without issue apart from oily grime on and around the lower joint...
My recent bargain RT had a ton of mess as well but that may of been the extra litre oil oil it shouldn't have had trying to escape...

1st , clean it all off and go for a ride , then inspect. you cannot tell where it is coming from when it is dirty.
