Oil leak sensor body

[MMcc]

The past few months I have noticed oil drops on the floor under the spyder. Took a 2 day 600 mile ride and parked it. After it sitting for 3 weeks while I toured Europe on a rental spyder I came back to a large puddle. Only took about 100 ml oil to bring oil up to middle of dip stick. The last month only consisted of short rides but I have been watching the oil level and placed cardboard under the spyder to catch any drips. Again after a longer ride there was a big stain on the cardboard. Brought to dealer last week. He could not find any problem after a short ride but then had it out for a 20-30 minute ride and noticed some oil drops. It turns out the leak was the oil pressure sensor but not at the threads. The oil was coming from the oil sensor body. He has replaced it with a new sensor and I can pick the bike up Friday morning. Kind of unusual failure.

My 13RT-S was leaking there from day one, the oil was actually dripping from the wire plugged onto it.

Bummer..!!

glad they persisted and found the source. They do fail that way in many vehicles and they should watch the suppliers of those parts. Well your good to go and hope that trip was as good as it sounds. Europe has amazing roads...:2thumbs:
