So, after a long trip with the bike being pinned on open tar roads, I got home to an oil leak. Only a few drops on the ground and none when the bike is standing. But from where? I thought I'd have a look before I clean it all up.

It's not the gear lever seal or the sprocket seal. It might be the slave cylinder or oil from behind the slave? Or the alternator cover? Clutch works well although fluid is low but so is the engine oil .....  ::)

Very hard to see in the pic but the oil is all over the engine casing above the slave and on the alternator cover.

there seemd to be oil in/behind the slave cylinder assembly but I can't see from where - it's messy.
