my NEW RC8 has pin hole leak in the case

after first ride I notice smoke from oil burning on exhaust. there was a very small amount of oil on top of the muffler. I thought maybe the oil plug wasn't tight or some oil was spilled on the case.

noticed oil leak got worse after 2nd ride. leak is coming seemingly from nowhere! then I notice it originates from the case itself. fook!

I really hope I get a replacement bike but likely my bike will likely be gone for weeks/months.....
Katoom's SD had the same issue. Lucky bastard got an R motor to slot in his stndard chassis.

Hope you're as lucky.
