I love you guys for the support. I can't emphasize enough. If I had a joke for everytime I heard I need professional help...haha! Appreciate the patience, though I'm not familiar with moto's, I have done my fair share of work on cars. I'm not familiar with the location of everything on the bike but can correlate terminology which helps...some.
Here is my update, pulled the gopro to get pictures that are actually clear but the window was still difficult to see where the oil level. I have two pictures, one after the quick ride and one when it was sitting for a bit. Lastly the area underneath that had the most oil and gunk, so I'll check this part after I ride some more.
Before cleaning, I rode down the street to pick up some clean and shop towels since I just moved and most of my stuff is still packed. When I got back I cleaned up the oil window and used a flat head to spin the cleaner, I positioned it at 12 o'clock. When it was warm, I didn't see much oil through the window. So I then I started cleaning all the oil/gunk(I don't think the mechanic cleaned this area). After I was finished, the oil level was in the middle of the lines and I didn't get any fresh oil.
Airbox - I didn't see any oil or leaking that high up so I didn't dig too deep in there.
Clutch reservoir - Appears to be full.
Drain plug - I'm going to run down right now as I couldn't pull it off, so I'll try with pliers this time and update in a few. --Update: Just took the cap off and it was empty. I thought it had some but I suppose not....this could have been the source then? Though when I originally noticed the leaking, it was difficult to tell if it was coming from here which is why I took that original picture of it.
With the notes on oil level and actually cleaning the window so I can see it more. I'm assuming that it was actually just residual or overflow oil at this point since I didn't see any fresh oil. Should I go for a ride now that I have it cleaned up and see if I get anymore fresh oil?
