Check above, that's your oil pressure sensor.

Look for leaks at the hose clamps. There are other sources, but these are the most common. The lone worm clamp is usually the loose one.

thanks, still can not find a leak, try again tomorrow, time for a turkey sandwich, with stuffing' of course

It doesn't take much of a leak to make a mess, and the coolant sometimes doesn't even form a visible drop where it is leaking. If you can't find it, have the dealer chase it down.

Mine leaked and Scotty is right it was a hose clamp. Looking through the side lower panel on the right side of the bike reveals a hose with a screw clamp, a turn with a flat screw driver stopped my leak. Good luck.

IMHO Top off the coolant to the correct level and take it to the dealer as your spyder is still under warranty and let the dealer find the leak and fix it under warranty.
