Found my oil leak. Fix???

After a few drips here and there decided to jack it up and see what was going on. Seems I am leaking oil at the connector going into the case for the stator wires. Do I have any options? Do I just deal with it till the stator craps out some day? I was thinking it was the oil cooler but when I took that off you could clearly see the oil all around that connector.

2008 Cop Glide.

Seal it with silicone until the stator craps out.

Thanks guys. I will be around that area doing the SE comp in the near future. Seems I have to wait for a new rotor that showed up broke. I did see the 2011's had a different set up. I will try some black silicone and see what happens. I suppose just clean it up well and get her in there. I am really not looking forward to a stator replacement in the near future so hopefully some goop will hold her for a while.

Thanks again.
