Default Primary cover leak

I noticed this small leak today on my bike. Nothing that drips or makes a puddle at all, just is wet on the cable and where it goes into the case. Just wondering what I need to do to fix it. Thanks

time to replace the o-ring or the clutch cable. Warning, the clutch cable thread is VERY fragile. Find out which direction is to unscrew before the first attempt. Here is an example when the clutch cable thread broken inside the case.

I wondered if there was a o ring or some type of seal in there.. I need to change my primary oil anyway so I guess I'll get the o ring while I'm at it. Hopefully it's not the cable itself
