oil leak.

hi
after removing lower left fairing and middle fairing to add coolant i noticed oil soaking the lower left fairing. and researching bikeland one possibility is valve leak which is no big deal and very benign.
but seems lot of oil just for a seep - i can actually squeeze out oil of foam. so how do i actually check if it is valve leak and not anything serious.

Setting on the kick stand makes the left front corner of the valve cover flood with oil ... If it's leaking there the oil will run down the block to the lower cowl and fill the foam with oil .. You will not really notice a leak while riding but leaning over on the kickstand over night you should find oil seeping at that corner ..

If it's sarcasm, change your pic, or it seems like you love busas. Which is nothing wrong with that, but in that case your name does suck >.>
