I have am oil leak in the rear of my S1 that I am unable to locate. It is not comming from the top of the oil pan but it is dripping down on the rear break switch. From there it is hitting the drive belt and throwing it on to my rear tire. I have also not found it leaking at the lines going into the motor.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP

I don't understand what you mean by "oil pan,", but you said it'd dripping down on the rear brake switch, so it's on the right side of the bike, correct?

Odds are it's a rocker box gasket. Do a search in the knowledge vault on "rocker box gasket" and you'll find lots of advice on fixing it--it's not a tough job and the gasket set to do both heads is about $50.

Look at the tranny vent it goes back over the rear wheel.
