I seem to have developed a leak somewhere, there is oil covering the bottom of the engine, though not pissing out on the floor, its also developed a rattle when over 5,000 rpm.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I would guess it's from the engine somewhere.... have a good degrease then go for a leggy stretch, could be a side case, one of the wires on the sides left or the neutral or the front right oil switch...could be a cam cover at the front or it could be a leaking sump plug or it could just be road crap? not a huge problem if it's one the above, a bit tedious if it's all of the above. Good luck.

I had a tiny hole in the oil filter due to "road debris" I think. This sprayed the engine and rear wheel. It was only obvious with the engine running.
Worth a look.
The only time my 600 doesn't rattle is when its not running.
