Default oil dripping

Just bought my first Harely-Davidson (1999 Road King). I noticed that there is oil dripping from it and I have track it down to a tube that appears to be a breather tube located on the top tranny. It is drippng onto the back side of the primary and running down to the ground when it's on the kickstand. is this a major concern or am I just freaky out because its my first Harley!!
