as above check underneath for any leaks also may be worth changing your filter over?

thanks guys. just checked it ova and the breather pipe was unpluged from the airbox, so plugged it in but a bit off oil had dripped dwn and thats where the smell is comeing from.

so hopefully that will have sorted it
