99 gsxr oil leak!!!WTF

[omnivore]

If your bike has ever been on it's side (dropped / crashed) the oil will leak up into the airbox. It could be dripping back out of the airbox drains.

ya ok but how much and for how long will it leak out of that drain??????????????????????? thats the real question.

I may be way off base, but your oil cap is on the right side of the bike

If it's not the airbox drain, as previously thought, and it's not the drain plug, and it's not the external oil lines. The CCT is on the right side of the motor, so it's probbaly not that!

It could easily be the valve cover gasket.

You sure it's oil? And not coolant?
The inside of that fairing does not look covered with oil.

Almost looks like a small coolant leak from the waterpump.

no cause i cleaned it.....coolent is not greasy like oil right?

I didn't realize that you cleaned it.

Coolant is slippery, and water soluble.

so i just looked at my bike. the only things that will leak out would be the coolant, the impeller/coolent pump is right there.

If its oil, then the oil pan is leaking there...the oil pan does extend out until there.

why dont you have someone look at it? what area do you live around?

or take the flarings off and check to see where its leaking from...

Put clean paper towl under it after your next ride and tell us if it's brown or green. I am now beginning tot hink it's a water pump failing, or a water pump gasket leaking. Coukld even be a hose clamp biting intot he coolant hoses.

i looked at my bike, i have aftermarket bolts and the bolt there is actually going to cut into that coolant hose.

it could be multiple issues.
