It'd help a bit to know what bike it is Wink

Follow the pipe back up and find out exactly where it comes from. Is it dripping overnight or just after a run. One drop every second or just a £2 coin sized mark overnight?

Are you sure it's oil because it could actually be petrol if it's coming out the over flow tube at the bottom of the bike originating from the air intake box. If that is the case then you've got a problem with float valve's little button sticking which is preventing the float to fully rise as to cut off the flow of fuel in the float chamber.

my bike is an nsr 125r

its only a very small drop of oil that is leaking from one of the pipes.i checked my transmission oil and that seems to be ok.
one question does the transmission oil indicator only show up when bike is started.The reoson i ask this is because no oil shows up in this indicator when bike is swithched off.
Im trying to eliminate all possibilities here.
My engine oil is also at the correct level,so what next???
