Explain this !

Just checked the H2 as I went past it in the garage and noticed this puddle of 2-stroke oil sitting on the rear wheel.
The bike is still being refurbed and so hasn't moved for a couple of weeks.
Don't know if this is a common problem, but it's new to me.
I have worked it out, but anyone care to guess how it got there? (no prizes I'm afraid)

You had a bottle in your tailpiece?

Just to add, there's no oil on the floor anywhere...

You brimmed the tank and it's expanded in a warm garage and overflowed? Clutching at straws here :lol:

Overflow from the tank is routed wrong and its dripping on to the rim and running down to the btm :idea:

Getting warmer, there was seepage from the tank... :idea:

Oil tank leak onto swing arm, runs down torsion arm and drips onto rear wheel.
Bike on side stand.

👍 spot on.
Triple gold medal goes to Nigel !
Not a spot of oil to see anywhere apart from the rear wheel... evident from wiping the underside though.
Is this common ?
