Hi everyone, I have 2005 PX with estart, mixer and disc. This is about the amount that i find under my bike after letting it rest for 7-8 hours (overnight). I know they all drip and weep, but this seems a bit excessive. My main concers is that at some point in the (short) future im gonna run out of oil in my gearbox because of this much drip in suh short time and cause dmg to the engine.
Thank you all for the inputs

It is hard to tell on a dirty motor so I'd clean it real good and see if you can figure out where it is actually coming from.
It is very easy to check and top off the oil so you shouldn't have to worry about damage. Messing up the floor might be a greater concern.
FWIW, none of my 5 Vespas drip oil.

Thank you very much for your input, I'll clean it good and remove all the plastic so that i can see it better and hopefully spot the leak source.

I must add: As far as dripping goes, the '58 LD is another story altogether....

My 2005 PX was doing that a few years back and even after cleaning the engine I still could not locate the source.
I think somebody here on MV suggested that it might be the oil line.
Sure enough, when I pulled the tank out there was a split in the oil line and the oil was dripping from inside the body.
