My V4 has an oil leak! I noticed this morning 3 drops of oil under the bottom fairing! With only 3500 miles in not happy. Going to the dealer tonight after work. Anybody else had a leak of any kinds?

I've had a few leaks out of the garden, and the garage rood leaked a few yrs ago. :lol
3 drops? Where from. has it just been serviced?

yes! serious coolant leak. (leaking like a sieve) fortunately occured while warming up. checked all (visible) hoses, connections, etc. Source seemed to be up and behind the thermo sensor unit.
Dealer mechanic informs me there was a recall on cooling manifold. (didn't say why i wasn't notified.) he's ordered part and will do work under warranty next week.
4500 miles on this amazing machine with NO probs! I'm not seeing any related thread here, surprised.
Maybe i spent too much time on brit bikes in the 60's (no offense), but in the greater scheme of things, "3 drops" of oil doesn't strike me as a big deal??
Grin has bit too many leaks! I found the problem, an Allen head on the left side of the bike under the coolant hoses has no sealant on it. (Dealership fault upon delivery)

Got my coolant leak sorted; new pipe fitting (#856543), clamps, clips, etc.
As a bonus, mechanic found an oil leak: spark plug wall gasket.
All done under warranty.
I'm wondering why, if was a 'recall" on that cooling system component why I don't see ANYthing here on it?
My T was #13 off the production line in the inaugural, 2012, year.
cheers.
