Dropped it on the floor? A bikes oil level will drop everytime you start the engine if this is what you are refering to. If it is up in the engine it is not in the sump....

Here's hoping that's what he meant, otherwise he has a cup of oil to clean off the ground, and a leak to fix :(
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Check your crankcase vent. If it's plugged, the crankcase will pressurize and oil will come out of places that it's not supposed to.
