Default Ah great!! another problem!

Well i decided to get my forks fixed this tuesday its going to cost me about 200 dollars.. Anyways that's on problem down. And i discovered that the whole left side is leaking oil slowly, gunk is starting to show up, and im beginning to get alot oil on my fingers. Im thinking that this is a leaky gasket? I have a stubborn bolt that i cant get out to take a picture. But its right behind my left fairing.....leaky gasket probably?

What do you think the quote would be? around 300? or do you think more than that? like 700? if its seven i might as well burn the bike lol.

well after doing research i been thinking that it might be nothing. The oil doesnt leak out, but it seeps. The bike has been sitting for about 6 months and i heard that sense the motorcycle is leaning it the left side it could cause the oil to seep out. Does that mean that sense i got the bike running again the seep should stop?

i would try just in case, you wont hurt anything to get the bike runing again and try to ride it
just make sure fluid levels are good

Well, if you clean it up really well and watch it... you'll know exactly where the oil is coming from and you can take it from there. May not be a big fix at all.
It's hard to tell how much money etc it would cost to fix without knowing exactly what the leak is from or what your local labor rates are.
