Oil cooler hose leak

BTW, mine was installed by the dealer. It was plumbed into the vertical pipe on the front of the engine. It’s a Derale cooler. It cools the top-end oil. As I recall, it was installed before I took the bike out the door.
 
Where does the end of the other hose go? How about a picture of the RT side(Clutch side) engine cover.
 
From what I can see the oil cooler isn't plumbed into the oil system. One hose on the cooler comes up by the frame and ends, goes nowhere.
The other line goes down out of sight by the front of the engine.
If we could see a pic of the right side of the engine showing the engine cover we might be able to see where that other hose goes.
On the right side engine cover it should have been modified so the oil flows out of the engine, a bit more than half way down the front of the cover is were the oil output usually is, to the cooler and back into the engine either through a fitting in the small round .oil filter cover, or as some have done, drill a hole into the top of the case above the round oil filter cover and into the oil filter chamber, then weld in a fitting and tubing into the oil filter chamber.
I chose the fitting in the cover approach. I may try the drill a hole into the chamber and weld in the tube and fitting. It may look a bit more like a stock one might have looked.
Did you just buy this bike? if so the PO may have bypassed the cooler for riding in cooler weather. Don't want the oil too cold.

XSLeo and azman, heres some photos of the RHS. The hose has been fitted into the oil filter cover. Sounds like this is the usual setup for an oil cooler

Thanks for the pic. That connection is usually the return side after it's been through the cooler. Any other possible hose connections on the front of the cover under the tach cable connection?
 
Pics need to be clearer on where the pipes go.............looks to me there is a T where that top hose joins at the junction where the leak is.......

there looks to be another separate hose on the other (left), side, of the cooler..........

.where does that go ?????
 
@650Skull & @azman857
The leaking hose leads into the RHS cover and then the other hose coming from the cooler/junction is cut off & plugged.
The other lead coming from the RHS cover is the RPM tacho.

A new clamp fixed the leak so I guess I'll go back to ignoring the setup hah
Thanks for all you guys input.
 
I see there is no tee now. Way the pic was angled and saw 2 hose clamps...........

Maybe check where that, go nowhere hose, was going before. Would think it had been plumbed into the motor before at some stage...........
