I had an oil leak develop on a ride today. I'm not sure where its leaking, the rear jug is dry, but oil is laying on top of starter and in valley on top of trans.

Sounds like mine. Shine a light between the starter and engine case to see if it is wet there. I'm waiting on a starter gasket to fix it.

+1. And on my 2000 M2, I couldn't figure out a way to get the starter off unless I removed the header.

On the other hand, that gasket had a slow leak for like a year or two on my M2 and never seemed to get worse. I just dabbed it up every now and then.

The jug on my s2t is dry but if you look up at the top of the left side of the rear jug, I can see oil drips from my rocker box area. I thought it was a starter gasket at first, til I had my hand on the starter and a drip fell from above lol.
Good luck on your leak.

Make sure you use a quality primary gasket also.
