Strange leak!
Crap...
After a ride a small puddle of oil will form underneath the primary cover when I park the bike on it's sidestand.
It's seems as though it's dripping from the drainplug (as that's the lowest point) but the drainplug itself it not the source of the leak.
Now when I park the bike UPRIGHT, it doesn't leak AT ALL?!
Now the oil is engine-oil BUT I have that in the engine as well as the primary...so still doesn't mean much.
I can seem to find any leaks coming from the engine, the oillines or tank, so I'm thinking that for some reason the primary cover is leaking....?
I've used a new gasket but that's a steel one, not the much thicker fibre/sillicone version...could that be the problem?
Or is there something else amiss....?
Tips and hints greatly appreciated because it's doing my nut in...!

But that doesn't make sense really?
The seal is higher than the oillevel, so how could it leak from there when put on the stand?
I did replace that seal though the other day: the 'open' side towards the primary and the 'closed' side towards the transmission.
This was the way the old one was fitted and the only way it really made sense to me BUT I'm sort of doubting now, as it said 'oilside' on the closed side...which didn't make sense...
