Hi Nadzz,

Hard to see from the pics, but it's not normal for any bike engine to leak oil, especially a brand new one!

I'm not expert on the 250's, but it must be leaking from somewhere and that hole might be a drain, if as you posted, it's leaking from the spark plug shaft it was probably meant to let any water drain away.

The mechanics may have to pull the cam cover off and check all the gaskets and o rings so they might check the valve clearances while they are in there - it could be to your advantage to have that checked early, but a bit of a shame your new bike had an oil leak.

The mechanics may have to pull the cam cover off and change the gaskets and o rings so they might check the valve clearances and head tension while they are in there - it could be to your advantage to have that done at the warranty service, but a bit of a shame your new bike had an oil leak in the first instance. Still, that's what warranty is for, so let them set it right and it should be sweet from then on .

Hi DaveAu
Thanks for the reply. My bike is in service center for past 2 days. They said they have to replace the sparkplug sleeve and the o rings. Lets see if they can fix it.
