KenMat,
I wouldn't worry about it. Look under the bike and you will see a plugged hose, with the bike on the centerstand and a small container underneath, remove the plug and any oil that worked its way up into the air cleaner via the crankcase vent will drain out. Replace the plug and you are good to go. Next time, tell the idiot that 3.75 quarts, counting the filter, is the proper fill. Not just dumping 4 quarts in there. Good time to start doing it yourself. Takes about 15 minutes if your fussy.
Renton,
Your mechanic may not be an idiot but he is badly misinformed. The whole seal vs synthetic oils thing got solved over 20 years ago. Tell him to read a book now and then. BTW, both the BMW M5 and the new Corvette, and, I think, all Mercedes come from the factory with synthetic oils. Don't see many of them leaking all over the floor or burning much oil for that matter. Urban legend, to use a kind phrase.
Ed
