I got this...it's the shifter shaft seal. Lots of other seals to replace when this one goes but now you know where to get to.

Or its the starter jackshaft seal, or the big oil seal, or the quad seal, or the sprocket spacer, or the mainshaft seal, or the inner primary seal....Or a rocker box gasket, or a pushrod seal, or...

I`m always impressed when someone can diagnose a leak on a 30 year old bike without even seeing a pic...

I`m not convinced the original post is even legitimate.

Leaking for 30 years and is now asking for help..
