It's been a few days I noticed a leak on my 23 1290 sas and couldn't figure out where it's coming from until yesterday when I had a good amount of time to be more precise.
It looks like there's a small pinhole on the clutch cover that starts leaking as soon as the oil heats up.
Let's see what KTM will do about it

My 2023 1290 SAR was leaking very slightly in exactly the same location. They did warranty the seal and replaced, but it took 2 visits to the dealer. Apparently KTM would only approve an assessment first, and then the dealer had to submit a second request for the case reseal? PITA, but it got fixed in the end...

Thank God my dealer is easier to deal with. They had me send them all the proof, and had me spray the area with foot powder spray and record a video. As soon as I did that, they submitted the claim and got approved. Now we're waiting on the part to arrive so I can go there and have them installed.
