Clean it real good, check for being over filled with oil then ride it and see if you can find out where it is leaking from. Right now it appears the leak is very very small so I would not be too concerned. Checking the torque spec's as advised above is also a good idea.
I saw leaks a bit more robust than this that came from valve cover gasket failures. Some of them leaked for years as the owners didn't care that much about it or decided not to spring for new gaskets. In any event, the oil loss volume will not harm the motor. At least the inside. But it would be nice to find out where it comes from and nip it in the bud. If left alone it could mask a worse problem in the future.
