my oil is leaking out the bottom of my engine on my drain bolt. Its not alot but it drips when its warm. What should i do to keep it form leaking?

Check your oil plug and make sure everything is kosher. You can buy an oil plug gasket at any parts store. I bought on and it helped stop my oil plug from leaking.

the cheap and quick way is to just get some liquid gasket or some rtv silicone and put it around to hole where the bolt head touches the case and just put the bolt in make sure it is fairly tight and you should be good to go. silicone also make a good gasket for just about anything

Problem with silcone though is that it is like gluing your motor together. I personally don't like to do it that way, but you can do it if you want to. Just remember to let the silicone cure for over 24 hours before you ride.
