Lots of places to leak on the left side that can make the pan look like that. Most of them will not be serious. If it's a filter cap leak, do not over torque, many have stripped the threads.

Relax..!!
this could be from oil service blow back from air filter etc. Clean the pan well and check you oil as you ryde to see if you are dropping on the stck. I like to remove all those panels but you don't have to. If the shop drained and or refilled they may have spilled oil and it will deposite there...

That looks like a lot of oil, I'd be taking it to the dealer if it was mine.

My 2013 ST-L also leaked on the left side when it was brand new. Oil was running down the oil tank. The O-ring was missing on the dipstick is all it was. Dealer replaced the o-ring and the first time i removed the bottom panel I found the old one on top the panel.

leave the pan off
it will be much easier to find the leak. then take the opposite pan off. this lets lots of heat out of the bottom as you ride. just hang them on your garage wall like trophies.
it was fun while it lasted.

thats the side you do the oil change from.... check your oil levels (after you have just ridden a ways) need to check at running temp.
see if its fine. If so just drippings from when they did your 600 mile oil change probably. I assume you had it in for the 600 mile?
if the oil is low, pull panels and check around the Oil Filter and the two drain bolts to see if oil dripping. one is under the big resevoir tank and the other is right in the middle of the bottom of the engine where that panel is.

I just had my oil changed. Saw some oil on garage floor. Put paper under the bike overnight found no sign of oil. I am guessing that it was just a bit of oil dropped on the pan after oil change.

Oil Leak
I have a 2013 ST-S....I took my bottom panels off to help with the heat issue. I noticed oil on mine as well....tracked it down to the drain plug on the oil tank. Tightened it up and haven't noticed anymore leaks on the concrete.

I changed the oil with the kit with all new o rings and gaskets and it stilled leaked. It's just my dealer being my dealer and you have to have a lot of patience with them!

Talked to the dealer yesterday and they think it could be close to being done. They told me to call tomorrow around noon.....only time will tell.

We are back to it's not leaking. Don't worry about all the oil under it ...can't find the leak so it's not leaking.

back in the shop
So I put the spyder back in the shop for the third time for this oil leak! They had it a week and found it this time! They said it it leaking were the shift linkage goes into the trany so I'm hopping this fixes it and I get it back soon. I will post how they fixed it when I get it back.

Check your Stator connection on your lower beam in front of engine. I have had a oil leak on my 2013 rt ltd. It has 4 wires and it is leaking out the wire cover. I had my stator replaced 4000 miles ago and it has always left a spot of oil on the floor, but the last 500 miles it is spraying oil on the saddle bags, brake caliper, wheels and even floating up to the tour pack. I removed air box cluster added JT air kit last weekend. I have room so I cleaned the engine and every inch that had oil on it and now the stator plug in is the only place that is dripping oil.
I am taking it to the dealer in the morning to see if they can fix it.
