Default Really slow oil leak on f2

I fropped my bike one day in the garage. Dam old bikes are too heavy!! and ever since then ive noticed oil drops on the floor. But its really slow, im talkin like 1 drop every 3-4 days. Any ideas of what it could be/is it anything major possibly. the bike only has 9k miles and from what ive read it sounds like the clutch cover gasket or bolts. Any thoughts??????

about all you can do is pull your fairings and look to see where its coming from. I doubt the gasket would have been damaged from a drop, but you could have jarred one of the covers and it tore the gasket I suppose. But, most of the time, a hairline crack will have formed when the bike was dropped.

Once you find out where its leaking, make sure all of the bolts are tight. If they are tight, pull the cover and inspect it for cracks. If you don't see any, replace the gasket and hope it was the gasket.

I would check it out, but one drop every 3-4 days really isnt worth worring about. Heck, the Harley rate is 1 drip per mile and your good.... jking. Its also possible that when you tipped the bike, oil could have gotten into places its normally not, such as the air box through the crank vent. Its possilbe you are still seeing drops from something like that. I might even be inclined to wait a few more days, just to see if stops leaking, or it takes longer between drips.
