I am a novice, so cannot say with 100% confidence. Both the tow guy and the first person to take a look at it at the shop agreed it is oil.
Was mostly trusting my buddy, but I am not sure I can blame him. I don't know if I could've messed up the bike bad enough to cause an oil leak by not waiting for it to warm up enough. Or maybe it was just **** timing and this guy was unaware of problems with the bike. The bike has 12000 miles. So I'm going to hear what the shop says, and if they say I got ****ed, I'll call the guy up and tell him the situation and will demand $$ back.
I am just beating myself up for not buying new, because when all the repairs are done and you factor in the value of time, I probably would have saved money.
