crankcase leak?

[Delerious]

I noticed that my oil was low the other day so i drained what I had left in there and refilled it with fresh oil to the line. Today I noticed that it was gone again. I don't have any external visable leaks but i tilted the bike towards the oil sight guage and the oil was visible in the gauge. Is this normal or do I have a blown gasket and if its not normal will it damage anything or should I do a bottom end rebuild? Thanks in advance.

is it smoking really bad or do you have oil spots on your floor??

No oil spots but is smoking a little, white smoke.

crank seal is blown on the clutch side almost guarantee it, is an easy fix though, can be done with motor in the bike and only costs about $30...

AWESOME!!! I think I might actually have an extra seal layin around. Thanks.

Ok, I just cracked open the clutch cover to take a look at the crank seal. Just to verify it is the seal directly behind the clutch basket, right? Thanks again for your help guys.

wait stop did you warm up your engine before you looked as if you don't it can be hard to see the oil level
