Default Primary Leak

i've got a newly formed leak on the primary of my '05 eglide. it leaked a little the other day and now is leaking like my old '89 fxr. any history of the primary seals going out on these or should i suspect the outer gasket, as it's been there for about 37k miles and been on and off about 5 or 6 times.

I had my shifter seal replace at 17000 miles. I was told that is not uncommon. If the oil is below your primary drain plug and on your kickstand, that could be it.

the leak appears to be behind the drain plug, but i can't tell if it's coming from behind the primary or just leaking that way when the bike is upright.
