The coolant is bright blue, so that's why I thought it was Oil on the plugs and in the air-box and not coolant. But who knows, maybe there was a minor amount of contamination between the oil and coolant that lead to the greenish color.. I know its usually "milky".

All-in-all the "liquid" that was all over the cylinder, airbox, and bike was more of an oil consistency, but again, im not certain what it is at this point.

I checked the hoses, they all checked out OK. I cleaned the bike and checked for visual cracks, nothing.

The coolant and oil levels seem to be fine (which is weird because there was such an explosion of oil). I drained a little of the coolant it it seemed clean. The oil in the window looks brand-new.

Any thoughts? Do you guys think it's time to bite the bullet and do a visual inspection?
