    not sure wat u mean....
    but the oil filter is underneather the sump so unless its leaking onto the headers then prolly not. check to c if its coming from the crankcase vetn pipe. its the big black one near the gear lever. tho i doubt its this since u left it overnight off.
    mine had a lot of crap/chain oil built up in the case where the front sprocket was from alll the wet riding i had done n was leaking blackish **** from there...that mite b it..

    as for fuel....it could leak form the reserve/on switch. if u take it off, tere is a lil o ring. tho try turnin the switch round on/off/res n c if it leaks...


    hope it helps

    I found I had a similar problem with my fuel tap.
    It had a leak and it was dripping fuel down over my oil filter and mixing with some chain oil then dripping onto the garage floor (which looked very much like engine oil)
    Best way to see if your fuel tap is leaking is to stick your finger underneath and see if there is fuel leaking, if it is dry I recon it could be coming from somewhere else.
    When I did that to mine it was always moist so I took it off, (Tape kinks in the tubes and mark which one goes where) I found that there was a little L shaped tube that connected to the main tap that had no seal, It just sort of clicked together.
    I took the tap to Mitre 10 and tried to put one of their small o rings in it but they were all too big. I finally resorted to using some plumbers tape which cost me 50c, it has been in the tap for 3 months now and it has not leaked a drop.
