my o-ring popped last week and dumped 3ltrs of oil on the floor. So get it replaced before it gets worse! it's behind the oil filter

Not sure if this will help but I had a split oil feed pipe which ran from to the rocket cover from the Type S airbox. Its an easy check and replace to do.

Be mindful though mate as in my case I let this go for years because I didn't realise there was a split and oil was leaking. I recently got my steering angle sensor changed and it was full of oil, which was the cause of the failure.

Needless to say I wasn't a happy bunny when I found out the cause. Honda ask for silly money for the sensors.
I came before the chicken.. The argument is now settled!!
