i can't tell from the pic's, maybe someone else can. best advice i can give you is to clean all the oil off the engine then make certain your gear and engine oil is topped off. ride it for a bit then try to locate the source.

After cleaning the engine, blow a bit of baby powder onto it, then go for a ride. You should be able to track the leak this way, and baby powder cleans off easily.

And clean the air filter as well, as an oil change,so you doin't have a drip. No crack's to the case as i can see so that's good. Look's like just a little clean up and an oil change. |

What would you recommend to stop the leak?
Any product I should use in particular?

Clean it up and change the oil first.
You'll be O.K-- like a Timex- that Honda will 'Take a licke'n and keep on ticki'n'.

Provided it still does not leak. It could of been the oil leaked out of the tranny vent then no problem. But it could be the gasket or leaking from the fill plug or drain plug or worse the case cracked.

If it's leaking from a pinched gasket, I can just buy a new gasket. But what about a cracked case? What should I do about that?
I'm also thinking about using RTV silicone gasket maker.

Yes you can use RTV gasket maker if its the gasket, if its the case you can clean it up real good and try JB WELD if not then new case.

Hard to tell from the pictures but it could just be oil that accumulated inside the airbox or evap system while it was lying on its side. You may have to wring out the sponge in the airbox and clean things up a bit to stop any accumulated oil from leaking out. To make certain I will hook up an air compressor set at only a few psi to the vent on the valve cover and just spay water with a little dish soap all over the engine and look for any soap bubbles being generated. If air is coming out where it should not there will be bubbles forming where they should not.

That sounds like a great idea. I'll be checking the air filter and cleaning it too. Thank you
