So I just drained my engine oil. I was expecting this to be gear oil I guess. I was of the understanding there were 2 types of oil on board. Gear oil and the injected oil. Please help me.
Need help please

Yeah that's all. I use 80W Maxima MTL (motorcycle transmission lube) in the engine and premix Maxima semi synthetic 2-stoke oil to pre-mix with my fuel at 4oz/gal. (32:1) I'm pretty sure you can use the Maxima 2-stoke in your injector bottle but most people do an oil injector block-off mod and pre-mix so they don't have to worry about the injector pump failing.
Pink tinted oil is ok too if it was pink when you put it in!
Seriously most gear and engine oils suitable for wet clutches are tinted brown
One can also use Auto transmission oil type F and I believe it is red!
I use Honda wet clutch trans oil in all of my stuff.
If you know general mechanic stuff from any walk of the automotive world and you "drained the engine oil", you drained the oil in the cases. Unless you went in and took the cover off for the pump and disconnected it there, you didn't drain the injection oil from that location.

I figured it out guys. Thanks for all the advice. Looks like I'll be splitting the case. It leaks just behind the drain.
Oh that sucks. Props for fixing an identified problem. Most people would have epoxied it or some retarded sh*t.
I actually bought some stuff to seal it up. But I decided that was a bad idea. So here we go. I have a friend who is going to help.
Well, don't get me wrong. I've seen some Blasters and an LT250R that had the bottom of the cases sealed with epoxy, but I wouldn't do it. That epoxy may set up pretty well, but I'm sure that most people don't clean the oil off of the cases well enough for all of the epoxy that's in contact with the case to actually bond. If you have the means or the money, tear it down and do it correctly.
Well that sucks 
Check that case screws are tight. You could try cleaning the area real good and applying some 3bond to out side, kinda depends how bad it leaks. Only good way is split cases and reseal them.
