hard to tell where it's coming from. you have to find the source to fix the problem. my guess is a the valve cover but that's just one of the more logical and probably sources.

so it seems there is a plug that is used to check oil pressure... dealer said this was the issue and put some silicone around the screw to make the seal better - took a nice ride yesterday and hoep this issue is solved - seems I found someone else with same issue on CBR forum - so its not just me. http://cbrforum.com/forum/f4i-main-foru ... lt-132428/

"silicone AROUND the screw" if this means on the outside of the screw then it is not the correct solution. you have to find out if it is in fact that screw find out why is is leaking.
