+1 I think this is the most likely cause.

another good possibility that I didn’t see mentioned, was the bike just serviced prior to buying it, if the clutch cable was lubricated it may be some residual lube that wasn’t cleaned up or is seeping through the cable sheath.

i talked to the last owner and the bike has not had any resent maintenance, its actually so now for the 20k servicing. from the grim in that area it look like its been doing this for a little while

im going to power wash it today get as clean as i can then keep an eye on it i moved the clutch cable so its not resting on the engine case any more so when it leaks i should be able to tell if its the cover, clutch cable is leaking or just oil from a sloppy oil change
