I have a 1998 ST2. When I ride for a short distance-say less than 50 miles I do not see any oil leaking. When I ride all day-200-350 miles I have a leak. I believe its from the blow off device. Mine is the aluminum collar style which I understand is to have known issues.
Does this make sense to anyone why I would leak oil only on longer rides? Even yesterday I went for a short ride, 50 miles, rode the bike fairly hard on highway 1 south of Monterey. Twisties, fast straights, etc..
Could temperature have something to do with it all? On my ride yesterday it was overcast and cool. On my recent longer ride it was about 100(f) outside.
Thanks for any input.
