Bike is 28K km and is like brand new. I accelerate on 3rd gear mid rpm (~ 5-6K) and gear pop up. After 1/2 second gear shift it self but VERY harsh . After I came home notice oil leak from the left side of the engine. Somewhere behind starter (can't see exactly where).

Engine running like before . Maybe little more noise. Only I notice when shift 1st gear from stand still is little harsh . After that no problem with gears.

Any ideas for leakage of oil ??

Have you checked the valve cover? I know our Gen1 leaks a little at the top left corner of the valve cover if you're standing over the bike. That's one of the most common leaks on the 1st gens.

Thanks guys, but the problem is not there. There is a crack in the block to the right of the starter. I did not expect zx10 be such a crap....
