If you look in Technical/Downloads in the main site you will find the manuals supplied with the bikes.  If you look at the engine strip section it will give you some idea of the internals. There shouldn't be a tap in the oil line.  It will potentially cause a lot of damage if it is forgotten to be turned on.  My bike will sit all winter without a problem as it is a positive displacement pump.  If you have a leakage problem check the condition of the small O rings behind the oil pump cover.  They should be replaced if you remove the cover.  There are two more O rings between the pump body and crankcase and these should be replaced if the oil pump body is removed.  If you look in the manuals it will tell you which bolts remove the cover and which remove the pump from the crankcase.
Hope this helps.
