Default whats leaking?

1,500 miles ago I changed the primary oil, then a week ago I noticed a drop on my garage floor so I tightend the primary drain plug a little more. I havent noticed any more on the floor but after wiping it down and riding several times I noticed its still leaking every time I ride it just not enough to drip on the floor. Almost looks like its coming from the front drive sprocket but its so hard to tell. All three oils are similar so its hard to tell that way almost seems a bit redish and there is redline in the tranny. I gues I should drain the primary and replace the O ring on the plug again and see where that gets me. Dam always sumpthin. Any suggestions?

I've messed up the 'O' ring before by over tightening the plug.

Good one Don!! I will rotate the shocks to see if the same thing occurs on the other side.
