So I've not used the bike in 2-3 weeks and finally started her up this afternoon and everything seemed fine til I noticed a lot of smoke coming up from the front. Quick look underneath and oil is dripping from a bolt directly onto the headers, let her cool down and had a look then started it up again and as soon as the oil gets up to temp it drips again, obviously it's just thin enough once it's up to temp. I tightened the bolt up a touch but worried about stripping it so didn't want to go too far, it's a little better but still drips once warm. Had a look in the workshop manual but can't find that particular bolt or torque settings, it's on the front of the sump and looks to just hold a black plastic tube on? Pics are below (hopefully the link works), has anyone has anything similar or know what the torque settig might be for this bolt? imgur.com/gallery/uSssWjNAny help would be much appreciated.

Probably coolant.

Ah you are a life saver, didn't even cross my mind it would be coolant although looking at the picture again it's clearly green. I'm surprised it's the O-ring up the top I could have sworn it was coming from behind that bolt, but I will have a better look tonight. Thanks again for your help
