Hey guys,
I have a 2015 KTM 450SXF that's like new.. 15 hours on the bike since brand new. It's been sitting a while because of health issues, but today I was planning on getting back on.
After warming the bike up, I noticed a couple drops of oil on the ground underneath. After inspection, there's traces of oil all over the place, specifically the bottom of the engine.
Everything seems tight, nothing looks obviously cracked or missing. I've attached some pictures.
Any help is welcome.

Thanks

Check your output shaft seal and your shifter shaft seal.

Yeah, I am guessing the countershaft seal. The ones on KTM's are kinda suspect. The good thing is they are very cheap. I just had to replace the one on my 2021 Husky with 5 hrs on it. If you pop the front sprocket off you'll be able to tell if that is where it's coming from.
