Now that I have a bit more time I'm hoping that I can knock this one out as where I moved to, all mechanics are weeks out.
So I just got my bike back from a mechanic last week in CA the day I had movers packing everything up. Then I noticed the leak when I got home but didn't have time to take it back to him. Now I'm in GA and in a pickle. I know the picture doesn't show much but I'm ready to start digging to try to figure out where the issue is coming from. Appreciate any and all help!
Thanks!
Firstly NickyV - Welcome to the Forum!
The first thing I noticed was your bleeder tube is full of (apparently new) oil. This tells me something is overfilled somewhere and got into maybe the airbox (not sure how). Nevertheless, unclamp and pull the black end cap and drain the entire tube. Replace the cap and the clamp.
Also consider locating where that comes from (The airbox? Engine block?). If the airbox, get to it, open it, and wipe the inside dry with a rag.

Yes it is. Got it, I will do that first thing in the morning. To get to the airbox, do I pull off one of the side panels? Not sure if called a panel but want to make sure I wipe as much as possible to see if I continue to get more oil to leak.
Thanks for the support!
