M696 Oil Leak

[zLoki]

Any 696 owners out there experiencing oil leaks, and not from the filter as perviously mentioned?  I've got a good one that I cant see, somewhere around the front sprocket area.  Seems to leak when I ride only (assume the expansion caused by the heat does it).

I got 13k miles on her, probably time to change some gaskets somewhere - anyone else seen something like this?  Going to the dealer on Tuesday to fix.

Lets see ........

Replaced engine speed sensor o-ring -it was contaminated with  plastic shavings from the speed sensor being jammed home dry.

Replaced the front cam cover o-ring

Replaced the engine side cover o-ring but had to use a Speedymoto cover in place of the stock cast cover to get it to stop weeping.

Replaced front exhaust valve cover o-ring

Replaced timing hole plug crush washer and had to use some Teflon pipe thread sealer to stop that one, still weeps a little when I run her aggressively.

I now keep a supply of various seals and o-ring on hand, same as I had to do with my Supersports

Holy cow! 

I guess I've been lucky...

Have fixed a couple leaks on my own bike and friend's bikes that seemed to be coming from the front sprocket area, but was coming out of the clutch pushrod seals.  Remove clutch slave, pull the rod out and inspect the orings.  On my bike there was a piece of silicon or something jammed against one of the orings so I was able to just clean it, apply some lithium grease and reassemble.  A friend's this past weekend had worn orings with flat spots or defects in them.
