So is it possible someone could do something to my scooter to make it leak oil?? I rode it once so far this summer and now I see it's leaking oil around the center stand. I didn't cause anything for it to just start leaking, BUT, I did mention to someone there was a recall on it and now it just happen to start leaking. Unfortunately this person does sabotage my possessions.....then he'll point it out to me. I just feel he did something. Is there something he could do to make it leak? I know this sounds crazy....because it is!!!

Thanks for replying!! With further investigation, I found it is indeed leaking from the drain plug. And that is only because somebody loosened the drain plug, causing it to leak!!! Because after he loosened it, the o-ring, or gasket was shot. This is the same person that puts pin holes in my exhaust or intake hoses. or pinholes on my blow up toys, on the seams.

Sounds like a disgruntled child is playing with you.

before you get too excited those gaskets do go bad, they get flattened out from taking on and off. my friend's benz just started leaking from the same place and i guarantee someone didn't do that because i tightened it myself and the car is very low you can't get under it without a jack
