M8 problems

My cases appear fine, cylinders are fine. This all appears to have just started from the oil cooler connection to the engine. From the oil cooler to the bottom right.
I completely cleaned everything except this connector as I only discovered the true source after this mornings ride. Had a guy check it out at a local charity ride and he agreed its the connection that is failing.
Cold measure is 3 dots above add a quart. This just started sometime this week, was caught by friend's wife who joked about it (her old 883 had a leak early on).
Regardless, dealer said he would come get it and not to ride it so I will let them take care of it. It will wet a paper towel if I wipe it down all the way back to the front, these are after the second ten minute loop to confirm source.
Right front, oil cooler connection, looking down on it
right underside, was perfectly dry before 10 minute run
doesn't look like much but if I wipe off this going forward to oil cooler I can wet a paper towel

Well we now wait on parts which is fine. Apparently this connector goes into the crankcase and needs to be replaced along with two other pieces. I got lucky in that I didn't ride it much after first finding it as I guess it could go bad really fast. Wish there was a part fiche to see what pieces are there

Your bike and Im sure you know whats going on with it, but 6&11 would be used when #10 is not used. Sounds like your getting a new check valve, could be a new clamp and hose too. Wish you and your bike a quick repair for sure.
