During a trail ride i had a sudden stop against a rock !!
Not too much damage, the bike still starts and runs fine. On the ride home however i noticed and oil leak, i took off the header guard and the sparkplug cover, the oil appeared to be coming from the sparkplug gasket, now this is totally puzzling to me as i would expect the plug to then also be soaked etcand the bike not starting.
Cleaned everything up at home and went for another short ride to be absolutely sure where the leak is from.
Attached are pics of where the leak is from... any comments advice is welcome.
I am planning to take the bike to the dealers asap but would be nice to have an idea of what i am dealing with.

Thx
