Check what MareRider said. That was the exact source of my transmission leak a month or so back. Tough to see, even a little tougher to get to.
The bottom two bolts had come loose. A very small socket wrench with a small hex bit and two minutes later the leak was fixed.

2 of the bolts are in the exhaust bracket that's below the clutch relase cover. Arrow points to the area.

Are you running synthetic? I tried synthetic for an experiment and I now have moisture at the same area you are talking about.

You might be better off showing your local harley mechanic what you are talking about. Your cylinder to case seal is an oring not likely to just start leaking. Is there moisture around the bottom of your rear cylinder or moisture at the seam where the back of the engine case meets the front of the trans case? Either way I still agree to keep riding.
