Hi everyone, I'm a first time new owner of a used 2022 V85tt with approx 3700 miles. This is my first post and I did do try to search for oil leaks in the search, I found a bunch but none in the same area as me. My problem you can see in this video. https://youtu.be/nVFNDADocNg?si=1FjDZaRGKJo_Mxoj After my first 50 mile ride I noticed oil leaking on the left leg side on the lower fins of the cylinder dripping down. What I've isolated after cleaning it a few times and riding is the oil seems to be starting somewhere around the bottom 3 fins of the cylinder above the cylinder gasket. Any tips on where it could be coming from. Thanks in advance. Oh and one thing to note after I first noticed the leak I found that the oil was slightly overfilled, just barely above the top of the glass. This video was taken after I drained a little oil out and got it between the lines and cleaned the area. Thanks again!

Look at the parts book. I believe there are some O rings under the cylinder there, and one of yours is missing or buggered up. Bill H. had a new 22 v85 that had this issue. His was warranted.
