Low on oil after oil change

Hello! I was wondering if anybody ever encountered the following problem: I checked the oil level of my 2006 xt660x, (as per manual, just after a good run, bike leveled), and found an extremely low oil condition, dipstick does not touch.

Decided to change the oil and filter, was due soon anyway, 2.5L came out, and replaced with 2.6L as per manual, and again, after a run, dipstick does not touch.

Opening tank cap with the engine running made a mess so oil looks to be coming up this way, and also removed the oil filter bleeder bolt and oil is coming out fast as well. Can the oil be draining too fast from the tank upon turning the engine off?

Any thoughts?

Much appreciated!
