Another popular leak is from either the o-ring that seals the cam bearing housing or the gasket behind the rocker pin cover plate.
You'll need to pull the battery tray off and then the cam belt cover.
Look for oil behind the cam pulleys.

Hi Rob,

Try this -

Fairing off, thoroughly degrease motor, and dry off completely

Liberally dust talcum powder (Johnsons baby is good) around the front cylinder and cases.

Take a ride.

With a bit of luck, you will be able to spot the origin of any oil leak.

Good luck

All sorted now,

thanks for all of your help and advice on this. Took it to get looked at and had a split pipe, also had a split coolent pipe so thats where the residue came from on the V Peice, so added together wasnt so bad I suppose but all sorted now, and i can get out riding worry free again!!

Thanks again Rob
