Default Shoot,I think I screwed up

Hey everyone,just joined up.
Need some opinions.
Wife and I rode for years and kind of gave it up when our daughter was born.Sold our bikes(she rides also)
Anyway,bought a 2001 FXDX Sport with 1100 miles on it a couple of weeks ago for $7500.00 Checked it out,everything looked good,no leaks,rode nice(it was about 15 degrees out)looks new.
Was out in the garage to start it up this morning,the garage is not heated and caught a leak out of the corner of my eye coming from under the primary where the belt goes around the front sprocket(gear oil)
Any ideas before I get into it as to what I am looking for.
Thanks in advance
Garry

could be a number of things, my guess would be a shifter shaft seal, but you can also have a loose bolt, bad gasket... number of things... you need to get down there and see where it is coming from

Could be dripping from the transmission vent tube, especially if it was a little overfilled when (if) it was serviced.
