I'm a new owner of a 2006 FZ1 with 4700kms. My first short ride, I could smell burning oil. After cleaning the oil pan up I found the source of the leak. It's a forged hole under the pan, like the one that has a bolt in it near the back of the pan. The oil is slowly seeping out onto the exhaust. At first I thought that a bolt had fallen out, but there is no thread, just a approx. 2mm diameter hole in the end of the recess. I looked in the service manual and it doesn't even show this recess from the exterior of the pan. Just wondering if anyone has an idea if a plug, small screw etc. should be there? Is it some kind of vent? Just to be clear the recess is factory made, and the hole appears to be also.
Thanks,
