I found out why my bike is actually leaking oil. There is an "oil relief" in the oil pan and there is an o-ring that is now leaking. The only way to replace it is to drop the oil pan. The dealer said they would need my bike all day. Ifeel that Ican do it myself. The bike is still under waranty but I had a bad experience the last time my bike was in the shop to be woeked on. Just wanted opinions if I should do it myself or just let them do it.

........if you ever decide to bring the bike to them,please remove as much bottom bodywork as you can......

Your bike is under warranty......if you work on it and the problem persist or is another thing,well,you may be in for some trouble.

Specially if you got the extended warranty.
