Hello, I'm the owner of R18TC.
There's a leak on the oil hose
(Exactly the left hose based on seat seating, the right side does not leak)

I heard that there are no parts in South Korea
I waited two months. I was airlifted from Germany
On the oil hose assembly side
I get a whole warranty repair,

I also replenished the engine oil,
It's been two days since I repaired it, and it's leaking again.
All I can do is laugh

The oil hose and the clamp are new
What's the problem?Screenshot_20251225_125053_Gallery.jpg

Yikes.. be careful..!! Depending on the flow rate of the leak; I'd hate to see the leak go catastrophic while riding, where your rear wheel gets a coat of oil on it and you lose control...

The below picture that you provided, show two oil collection points; which I would not think is possible from an oil leak of the oil cooler hose..

Maybe the oil leak is higher and traveling downward and resting on the two low points on the oil plan case?

Maybe take some big pieces of cardboard and lay it under the bike, and get an idea of where oil is dripping from...

Do you see oil spraying or leaking if the bike is left idling for 15 to 30 min.? If you don't know, maybe try that, but keep an eye on the bike and be mindful of any catastrophic oil leaks..

Have you checked if the oil cooler has a leak/puncture? ... I agree with SL that these 2 points are highly unusual (IMO) for a leak. The oil cooler is right in front of that and the wind may fling the oil back ...

EDIT: ... and check the oil filter ... I had one with a bad seam (1 in a million go figure) and the whole bottom of the engine was covered in oil ...
