Got a ZX10 and there's a leak coming from the right side of the engine, down the bottom.. there's two inspection holes small one and a big one. it looks like the leakj is coming from the bigger one, so i turned it, and it went into the engine... i don't have a manual.. can i take is off??? there's about 5 bolt's.... or should i take to a work shop?????

Not sure what part you are talking about, can you send a pic.?

The 10's will seap a little oil (usually out of the rocker cover gasket) if you over fill them and then ride it as the manufacturer intended :twisted: .
Happened to both mine and Watties, dropped a little oil out the sump and they were ok..
