Strange Oil leak

[thelamoth]

I have an oil leak..not a bad one by anymeans but i am sure it it is the waste which is pumped out of my exhaust as it is the same consistency and colour.
I have recently checked my gaskets etc and cant find a leak....its coming from by the engine oil window area and dripping it seems on to the exhaust.
Its a very strange leak..i have checked my breathers etc but it most definatley coming from that area....argh!
Any ideas on seals around there that may have blown??
I dont think it is gearbox oil as it is the wrong colour...im sure its from my exhaust...maybe a blowing pipe?
Any help appreciated ;)

does it sound like its blowing?

what bike is it by the way?

Its a Italian TZRR...and it does sound a bit loud to be fair...might be time to take the exhaust off and have a look/replace the gasket.
Cant do it today though as it is raining =( Im sure its coming from the exhaust area though....could a tiny hole cause thise as upon looking i could not find one before...bugging me now!!
Any ideas where i could get a new exhaust for this model btw?

hey i think you should change the gasket! or check where the exhaust is bolted on as i ghave just had the same problem bike was very loud and losing power so went out brought a new gasket and went to look at where it is bolted on and there was a bolt missing and there was leaks coming from the exhuast black **** all over the underbelly inside of the fairing so bolted it back on and hey presto ! all fixed

Yup..black **** it is =)
I have a spare exhaust gasket at home so i will slap it on =)
I wil also check the exhaust for holes etc and if there is i will weld it up =)
Im a welder all week so i might be able to take it to work as well =)
Thanks for the help peeps this was annoying me to no end...time to get the sockets out ;)
Ill report back as soon as i have repaired it ;)

Teh doh...i have not put my crankcase cover back on properly it seems from having a look inside....got to get it off....drain oil and coolant and fix it....the dang mayo is about!!
Oh well..at least i can do it properly, although it means i have to get another gasket teh doh...=(
Going to have to flush it as well to get rid of the gunk inside..ho hum life is fun eh?
Not the head gasket already checked it..doh more fun for the weekend =)
Might as well do my exhaust as well then =)
