Can anyone help me out please ?

For pictures it's best to get a Flickr account and then use the link from them on here, it's how I do all of mine.

As for the oil leak, it can only be a few places, rocker cover, oil cooler and pipes, spark plug tubes, side cover gaskets.

If you can, get the fairings off, clean the engine and then fire it up, give it some solid revs to build up pressure and then either visually check for leaks, or wait till everything has cooled off and blow talc over the parts above to check for leaks.

Solid idea, from where I can see and feel I see fresh oil for my he oil radiator pip and fresh oil on the clutch wire so I’m assuming it’s the clutch cover seal and the pip but I will try that talc idea too
