   i've got an oil leak..
   
   i have the 98bhp model vtr, and the oil is leaking from around the front of the sump, is the oil pump here? as i'm not too clued up on engines.
   
   i think it's coming from the bottom of the oil filter neck, where that attaches to the sump, has anyone else had any trouble with this?
   
   
   i'll get pictures up as soon as i can, to help show what i mean..
   
   any help is much apreciated !!

   Check oil filter, might need a new one, or could want a new sump gasket.
