Hello

I need some help with a oil leak that I just discovered while cleaning up some gunk around my oil pan and oil cooler.

My bike is a 2009 model with 12k miles

Thanks!

My guess

Based on those pictures I would guess a bad O-ring on that C shaped pipe. Again, based on the photographs, the lower end of the pipe. It could be as simple as the lower bolt not being tight enough, but my experience with similar designed transfer pipes,is they usually have a single or dual O-ring on the pipe end, with a clamp to keep it tight and sealed. A bad O-ring or loose clamp will allow seepage like what you see.
The next oil change take it apart and inspect, but don't reuse any seals. Should be an easy fix. Use a Torq wrench on the bolts and make sure that you know what the bolts need to be set at.
