Oil leak
I have a small oil leak from a sensor or something. I have looked through my manual and can't find out what it is. It located on the left side of the engine while setting on it. It is under the crank position sensor and it has two wires coming from it too. It is not the oil pressure switch either as that is on the right side. The wires have oil on it. Just wanted to know what it is so I can replace it.
Thanks for your answers. Plus helping me to upload pictures of my bike.

Sure sounds like the stator plug as previously pointed out; see the attachment. Common issue and most clean the area very well with carb cleaner and apply a bit of clear silicone under the lip of the plug and the penetration where the wires pass through the plug. Let the silicone cure before next ride and that should stop the leak.

Yes I would agree with everyone as I went out to the garage and looked at it very close. It doesn't leak but maybe one or two drops and not on every ride. I will clean and do the silicone tomorrow and let it cure for a couple of days.
