dang leak

installed my cams a month or so ago and now noticed a leak. what was strange was it went thru the rigors of dyno tuning and a couple of rides for a total of about 250-300 miles and no leaks. then after sitting in the garage for a week i noticed a spot about 1-1.5 inch where it dripped off the drain plug. without thinking i wiped it up without looking at the color (use trans fluid). came home today , about a week or 10 days later, and had about a 6-8 inch puddle. hmmm! i'm pissed. trying to find where its coming from it appears that one of the 2 bolts that holds the exhaust mount to the trans has come completely out and is missing. have a d and d 2-1 pipe so now i'm wondering if i forgot to torque ? or did i torque and it just vibrated out? anyone ever have this problem?

Several have had loose bolts there. One of mine was missing as well, but no leak. Seems to be more common with the 09's but mine is an 08.

I'll be keeping an eye on my '09 RG now.
Didn't know this was going on.

My 08 leaked there as well. Also the stator plug out of the primary. Fixed them both and nothing as of yet.

Those two bolts need to be installed using blue locktight. Experienced the same problem as others here.
