Still got this oil leak!!
Ok guys, i think I've pinpointed it, its either right under the airbox and under the starter, or the drain bolt, meaning i probably need a new crush washer, but i cleaned the airbox area and theres oil back again, so my moneys on that spot, i hear you can drain the airbox and that should fix it, but I'm not quite sure how. Any tips and insight to this matter?

There should be a hose hanging underneath the bike right behind the engine.
Release the little spring clamp by squeezing it together and sliding it up the hose. Pull out the plug and let it drain. Replace the plug and the hose clamp. You don't want it draining oil right in front of your rear tire while riding. Check out this link. http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/Oil_Cha...n_hose_service |

The air box (front right corner) has a little hose pointing down, which has a plug for draining.

Ok, drained the airbox but the leak still persists, any help is appreciated, there a little droplets of oil right above both oil nuts (drain and filter), and right behind th starter (under the airbox, right in front of the fat hose connecting it to the crankcase). again, any help is appreciated, tired of cleaning up oil every morning.

Maybe it's time to change oil, filter, O-rings, and oil plug crush washer.

hard to tell from the photos, i'd say wash it down with engine shampoo and check it then.
also, looks like theres a leak from the carb float bowl drain? also, R6's don't leak oil..... |

is your oil filled to the correct level? or is it overfilled and trying to gush out the crank breather

Its on the low end, with the bike standing vertically, no center/side stand. So i don't think that would be an issue, but is there any way to remedy that if it was?

the remedy to too much oil is to remove some oil. but if its underfilled, then it doesnt have too much oil.
