#1 | OIL LEAK? datum

I tipped my 1250 RS over on the right side. mostly cosmetic, I think. I rode it for several hours afterwards and noticed that my boot and the exhaust were covered in oil. took the cylinder head protector off and no apparent damage under it.
Is it possible that the oil leaked out the filler?
Anyone have thoughts?
thanks

...not if the filler cap is tight.

Hopefully, no puddle in the garage on the center stand (or leaned right side against the wall).

As an optimist, my test is to clean it up, park it overnight, and if OK, go have fun on a ride, and re-check.
