No oil leak - then a leak - then no leak?
R1 5PW, new clutch and baffle plate fitted.
Second outing all well, gave it "some beans" in 1st then parked it 2mins later.
Noticed a small pool oil, about a table spoon full, under the sump and sump bolt wet with oil.
Left it for an hour, drove home 5 miles and have left it for one week.
Checked it over today, no oil on floor under engine and a couple of sump bolts are oil wet. Oil level still full, no sings of oil coming out of
breather.
Any idea's?

you've run out of oil!
Id just keep an eye on it, and put it down to the sump bolt not being well settled on its washer originally.

Found the leak, nothing to worry about.
Just need a new gearbox/clutch gasket as it weeps when wet.
