I am very concerned about all of the posts I have read regarding broken oil sumps at the bottom of the engine.
My last ride encountered some bottoming out on rocky terrain and have since then started noticing small oil puddles under the bike after every ride.
I took off the skid plate (which has no noticeable dents) and a film of oil on the top surface, but saw no cracks or leaks from the engine.
I took the bike out for a good ride without the skid plate and parked it to see exactly where the oil is coming from.
The next day there were oil spots below the 2 rubber hoses. Where do these hoses go? is it normal to have oil coming out of them?
The engine oil is at the correct level, so that is not it.
