Thanks Snowyone, now I think I'm getting somewhere. A few questions; so you doubled up on o-rings? did you do it yourself? How hard was it to do? Was there alot involved? Any special tools? I am mechanically inclined, though not completely with motorcycles, but I learn quickly. Any more incite or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Again, no leaks on floor anywhere, nor did I see any smoke coming out of exhaust. This is frustrating. 1 more thing, I know my manual says to check it on jiffy stand, and I have been, the levels are what I had posted before, but I just now checked level while standing the bike upright and the level is right at the full mark.
Yeah. I know...my bike has a rubber plug with a dip stick on it. Is yours different? If you used an aftermarket plug/dip stick, it may be the wrong length and made to measure your oil level while standing upright. I know this from experience.
