Default oil leak 2011 heritage

I found a leak coming from what looks like a sensor. I cant tell what holds it in or if it has a seal. could someone please let me know what sensor it is and how it comes out? its located near the oil filter just under the crank sensor it has three black wires coming from it .

That's your alternator wires.

Spray it with brake cleaner and smear black silicone sealer (gasket maker) into the Crevices.

Make sure your oil filter is tight.It will drip out of there and run down the bike and look like a leak some where else.
