Default Oil Supply Hose Seepage

I have a slow seep with what I'm 95% sure is the oil supply hose. The seep is only visible for a few seconds after I shut the bike down and while there's still some oil pressure and is coming from between the rubber plug and cast/block. Can anyone confirm that what I have circled in the pic is indeed the oil supply hose? A bonus would be to know the process for remedying the seep - or even pointing me in the right direction. I've been researching it between meetings for the better part of the day with no luck. If it means I have to get inside the cast/block to repair (and I'm really hoping it's not), I'll have to keep an eye on it and hopefully be able to repair it over the winter.

Thanks in advance.

Those are the wire leads from the Stator to the voltage regulator. They deteriorate over time in some cases and get soft and develop a seep/weep. Many in here have made temporary repair to that by cleaning it real good and smearing some black Permatex around it and reinstalling it.
Good luck.

Thank you. That actually makes a lot more sense.
