hi im pretty new here. hoping someone can help with my problem.couple wees ago started seeing spots under chain case i thought it was drain plug at first. so i did case service with new o ring and teflon tape. added quart and now leaks a little worse. got under it with a mirror , fluid seems to be coming from behind belt sprocket . is there breather tube i cant see? hate to think oil seal at 6000 miles. any help would greatly appreciated.thanks

Ouch, it sounds like it could be coming from a seal. I personally have not encountered that problem, But if the plug is not the issue....does it do it all of the time? Just after a ride? What? Is the chain at the proper tention? Humm Good luck.
