08 Pitster Pro X4M huge oil leak...

2008 Pitster Pro X4M street legal Motard.. Im military (USAF)shipped it to Guam $400 got it in 6 days which is unheard of here..... Had to build it up myself.. I had a bud Clokey who already ordered one so he knew what was what etc he is a hardcore motoX guy been racing since he was 11
He bought one as a DD to work I loved it I got one...
Its been raced 3x 2x slid out on the left side... 1 time I dunno how it flew I just know how I flew bout 10 feet and 30 days light duty...

Im leaking oil about a 6inch circle now after everytime I ride it... about 3 miles...
The stock kick start was crap replaced it and next to it online was a "CNC" shifter bought that also ya know a lil bling...
Last time it was slid out the "CNC shifter" broke...
Oil leak is looking like maybe for the shifter going into the housing.. Maybe the shifter not giving way and breaking messed up some seals???

Any input would be appreciated GPX 160
45 miles....
This isnt a pitster pro problem...
I think at 10 miles this was being raced and it was slid out and then at 20 I dunno what the bike did but I had a seperated shoulder bruised hip and ribs and a "tailbone examination"

It sounds like you might have cracked your cases or ripped the clutch gasket

you may of bent the shifter shaft. causing it not to seal correct when the seal. Look and see if that is bent. Spray it down with some carb cleaner so you can watch where the oil actually comes out.

I did that and at static... no leaks its when i drive it it leaks...

Oh and Im an Airplane mechanic... so Im trained on leaks and where stuff starts from...

Shifter shaft seems straight... but Thats what I was leaning to....

Just wanted a 2nd opinion before I tore it apart...
