Default cylinder leaking

i have a 93 fxdwg and i noticed yesterday when i started it ,i looked down ,and the rear jug has pinhead size water bubble between the jug and the base of the motor..i think its called the base gasket...but after i rode it 15 miles i looked it stopped....but i start it up this morin and the same leaking...run it for a while and gone or dried up and still blowing air probley..but cant see no bubbling...is this normal on a 1340 cc motor..it has 27000 miles...or should i tear it down and replaced all the gaskets...or just keep running it, it runs great..confused anybody else have this problem

If it's a water bubble, then it would have to be condensation wouldn't it? Where else would water be coming from?
