Figured I would ask here before I wasted any time at the dealer.
It is not much Just noticed it the other day and washed it off thinking it might be some spillage from a recent oil change but it came back.

The crankcase joints should all be oil-tight - you need to get it checked out...

CC gasket looks like it is breaking down. Get it checked by a qualified tech. You may have to have it replaced....right away.

Agreed. You should definitely get it looked at. Not normal.

Could be a lower jug gasket or blowoff from crancase breather that seeped around.

A few years back I had Harley do a reman motor for my '93. It developed a small leak which looked like it was at where the cases meet, on the bottom of the motor. It turned out to be the oil pressure switch. I guess they didn't tighten it enough and oil was leaking past the threads, and running down the back of the motor to the bottom. Your leak could be from somewhere else, and getting blown to the back. Also they put a dye in the oil and use a ultra voilet light to track where the leak started.,,
