Default Oil Leak!!!

Hello All,
Im new to the forum and was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I have a 2010 Fatboy Lo that has what appears to be a small oil leak from the rear of the engine coming from a small slit (looks like a vent hole)

Ive attached a picture of the location. How worried should I be?...Yikes!!!

Thank you in advance.

Where did you get the bike? If you got it from a dealer or if the bike is still in warentee I would take it up to the dealership asap.

Agreed. If you are under warranty, have the dealer look at it right away. I was not, and I would not let them crack the case even if I was for such a small leak (or seep).
