If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Haha, yes that would help its towards the bottom of the engine on the right side. Don't really have anymore info then that.
Thanks for the help!!!!

A picture of what is going on and more information about how you found the leak might help. Have you cleaned the engine and really watched what happened after restarting the bike?

No, I have not cleaned it up yet. Did not think that it would help just because I can see where it leaks from.. the bottom of the engine where the two plates come together. (Sorry I don't know what its called) If you think I still should I will, but what else should I look for?
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

If you can post up a picture that would help. There's lots of great wrenchers around here that will surely be able to help.
If I understand this right, it sounds like your base gasket is leaking (where the cases meet). Someone else more knowledgeable, like Nessism, will probably speak up here but I would start looking for new gaskets. Make sure you get OEM ones even though they are pricey. They'll last longer than any of the aftermarkets from what I have read (course OEM is all I've bought since getting my bike last year).

One other question I have is.. how does gasket sealer work? is it worth a shot or no?
Edit: also anyone have a pdf of a repair manual. or step by step for replacing a gasket
