Its probably leaking out the tell-tale hole as shown in this picture from an earlier post in this thread: http://i58.tinypic.com/2iuum8j.jpg

Saw a little bit of oil seepage at this site on my bike too. Tightened those bolts a little, seems to be under control but I will monitor it closely. 500 miles on clock.

Did this on my new Forza as fter the first hard run.....monitored it after that and it never again leaked enough from the weep hole to drip to the floor. Manual mentions that a bit of wetness here might be normal.

I'd keep a close eye on your coolant level, and your oil dip stick.
If you see any change I'd take it to the dealer.
In my case....the level of the coolant did not change in 5000 miles.
Oil was changed too often to notice anything.
Sold the Forza for a new Burgman.
It is apparently very rare for a Honda engine to leak anything...but not so this Forza.

Reading this post, I went outside to check and sure enough, I see telltale signs of oil leakage since the plastic cover over the exhaust pipe has oily residue. So, I put the bike on center stand and check the oil level. A little low (oil only on the bottom 5th of the crosshatching). So I'm adding oil. And calling my dealership tomorrow.

FYI : I have 2800 miles on the Forza.

I cleaned the area where the oil was with brake cleaner, but after 50km ridding it's wet again :(

Tomorrow the first 1000Km service interval, I wil ask them to look at it.

Went for the first 1000km service interval, they first checked the oil leakage with one end of a ty-rap in the weep hole and it came out wet with oil, now the service interval has postponed until a next appointment when the parts to fix the leakage has arrived, probably early next week and all under Honda guaranty of course.

Took a photo from their screen, the red outlined parts will be replaced including the liquid's

Good for you!
This fix would have involved much more drama at my dealership.
Just one of the reasons I traded Forza for a new Burgman 400.
Very sad to see a Honda leaking anything!

I have a 2015 Forza with 1200 miles and found some coolant on the garage floor. Was anyone able to confirm it's coming from the weeping hole or some other issue?

Many thanks!

Mark

Haven't heard of any leaks from anywhere other than the weep hole on a Forza 300.
Dry the pump area off and leave a bit of folded up tissue paper taped over the outside of the hole.
If the paper gets wet the hole is the source of the leak.
Some PCXs suffered cracked expansion tanks.

Maybe is just that week of the month... Of course is the water pump issue! Old news. Read the thread carefully Mark.

Thanks for the comments. Has the repair worked? Is everything good now? My dealer needs 4 business days to look at it so I won't know what they find until next Tuesday.

Mine has done about 18,000 miles since repair and is fine.
