Normal for just enough to make a mess to come out of there. Button it back up and go!

Yea what QC said.
A Harley is dry sump, meaning the crank case does not hold much oil.
The cam chest covered by the cam cover is part of the engine case/sump.
The oil pump is housed in there on the twin cam, so any lost oil can be replaced by just checking the oil and adding to the oil tank.
