It could also be exchanging at the oil cooler. Either way, it's not good.

this may be a dumb question, but...
if the bike leaks some oil slowly into the coolant but does not leak out of the bike, is it bad to ride the bike as long as the oil continues to stay high enough?
Eh... maybe for a few days if it's your only mode of transportation, but I'd take care of that asap.

im almost positive it is the oil cooler.
but i currently do not have the money to buy a new one.

it leaked allitle and has stopped(because i tried to do a quick patch which is sorta leaking but it leaks allitle the stops at a certain level), is not overheating, and isn't putting out smoke.
so i don't think it is a head gasket

I actually have my old engine with a 100% good oil coller on it in my garage right now. I replaced it due to a cracked lower case on the left side, but it ran great, and everything is intact. I replaced it cause im uber-****. Make me an offer on the cooler if you want it.

It's a liquid to liquid oil cooler. Coolant cools your oil. Your bike has one if it's an F3. It's a rectangular looking thing cast into the front of your block, above your oil filter on the front of the engine.

You're thinking of a traditional air to liquid oil cooler that has fins and mounts near the front of the bike in the airstream
