If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Most likely the o-ring on your starter motor (seals the starter shaft where it goes into the stator cavity) is shot, allowing the oil in that cavity to leak past it... it will drip on your foot, get on your rear tire, & make a mess once the oil gets hot.
Easy fix, remove starter cover & unbolt the starter (2 bolts at the rear), replace o-ring (use OEM one), then reassemble. You might have to turn the shaft a bit to get it to line up with the gear on the inside but it's no biggie.
It's a tight fit, but you can do it without removing the carbs.

Yeah, the bottom of a cavity that needs to remain somewhat dry is a crazy place to put a drain, isn't it? :-\\\
