Ok so last week I had to drop my engine to fix the thread on a spark plug i blew out, I got the engine back in and everything has been running perfectly fine, better then usual. Yesterday I was driving to my friends house, he just got a new car so we were kinda messing around on the freeway, I was riding my bike kinda rough, not sure if that is the cause. Anyways when we got to his place I realized my right shoe was soaked with oil and there was oil all over my bike I checked the oil level it was fine everything seemed to look fine, I parked it in his garage and 5 hours later there was a little puddle, looked like it was the oil that was trapped in my lower fairing just made its way to the ground. I drove it to work then back home with no problems what so ever, leaking was over, when I got it home I took off the fairing and the Heat guard was covered in oil along with everything else on my bike. Anyone ever have this problem or know where I should start looking for a oil leak, seemed kind of weird that oil was everywhere left and right side of my bike and was able to make it all the way up to my heat guard, I was able to squeeze quite a bit of oil out of my heat guard. Also when it leaked that was first time taking the bike over 120mph since putting the engine back in, not sure if high speeds might be the culprit. Hope someone has a suggestion. Almost forgot, 2005 CBR600RR, 37000 Miles if that means anything.

Yer , could be just a gasket , but if it is or seems ok now , I would be thinking that you suffered a small case of crank case pressure?
See if you have the crank case breather hooked up properly ..and not restricted.. Crank case breathers have been known to discharge small amounts of oil ... so check it well mate ...
One thing I will say is that it may not be leaking now , but when moving along at speed it is very possible to splatter oil on your rear tire and that aint good !!!
Check her over real good till you find where the hell it was escaping from and take it very very easy if you have to ride her in the meanwhile ..
