Lots of Smoke and now no oil.

Helga decided that she had enough this morning and while filtering through traffic on the A3 north bound at the Queen Elizabeth Country park, I notice I seemed to be producing rather a lot of smoke.
So I pull over to the junction of the entrance in to the park and notice smoke poring off my bike, so I shut off the engine and then see all the oil. First i think its coming out off the exhaust, but it looks more like its from the underside of the bike as its covered most of the back end and tyre. Lucky I managed to keep it upright, as there is nice oil trail left by me as I come off the road!
At the same time another bike pulled off with me and asked if I was OK and checked that I had recovery and a phone (the guy was on a new Gixer). So that was nice. He said he thought it was a bit foggy when he joined the dual carriageway then noticed it was me... lol.

Managed to get quickly recovered by a guy in a proper motorcycle recovery van with the floor that drops, got to me nice and quick and he was nice and chatty, so that was good. SOS recovery I think, so I will recommend them in the future, and might write a letter to Carol Nash to say how happy I was.

Anyway, here are the picks, first 2 are at the side of the A3 and the others are taken on my drive.

As the photos are blocked at work I can't see them. Are you sure it is not the oil breather pipes come away?

Thats a lot of oil come out.Can you see where it is coming from?Sump plug still in I take it,or has the front sprocket seal gone?
Maybe not terminal if so.

Good to see a nicely oiled chain, and with winter approaching I admire your attempts to stop the bike corroding, however, in today's environmentally friendly age, I cannot condone not capturing the excess and disposing of it properly!

Well guessing by the mess I'd reckon on a shaft seal, if it was the front sprocket then that would sling oil all over the place.

At the moment I have no idea, I didn't really want to look to hard at the side of the road. Plus with all the oil every where I can't see, be giving it a good look over tomorrow.

I suspect sprocket seal, and I didn't notice the sump plug missing.

I have been told if the front sprocket nut comes loose the oil will be able to get past the gearbox output shaft seal, so possibly start there, checking there's a decent ammount of torque on it.
