My Triumph Daytona has suddenly started leaking oil. Spots appear on the fairing after a few miles of riding, not a lot but it has not done it before, I can only see it on the right hand side and it looks like it is being blown through the gap in the fairing on to the bodywork. i wipe it off and 10 miles later it's back. any ideas would be appriciated. Crying or Very sad

Take the fairing off for a start.


Clean off all the oil with a high pressure cleaner, like brake cleaner. It will dry quickly and be clean. Once it is dry and clean cover the area in talc and start the engine. Now look for the wet spot.
