Alright folks,
The bike was going to be parked for a little bit for some maintenance (oil change, carb jets, and air box mods).  I think it was unhappy with this news, as it decided to rattle off the right side plate over the air box, and left an oil trail from under the left side case.  

Any common threat areas under he left side, front?

Thanks for the insight, I will check that out.

Cool....I love happy endings!  (And clean garage floors).
