Possible oil system gasket failure?

Hey y'all.
I had let my bike sit for about a month due to some crappy weather, but I noticed after a few miles into my ride yesterday that it was leaking (pushing out?) oil from the place indicated in my picture.
I rechecked the bolts and the o-ring on the filler cap, all seems to be fine. Lookin' forward to hearing y'all's input, and thanks in advance!

looks like it's time for a new clutch cover gasket.
check your cam chain while you're in there.

I would say a failing clutch cover gasket too but without knowing exactly where it's leaking I'd hate to recommend to replace parts. Can you tell specifically where it's leaking?

There's no problem that a full tank of gas and a sunny day can't fix!

Yep, I honestly just didn't know what the name of that area was. Forgive me.
I just ordered the replacement gasket and started reading the tech section about the cam chain. Appreciate the help, y'all! Now if only this weather were nicer...

Last question on this topic, y'all. Looked through the tech section to get the clutch cover off to replace the gasket - this part I'm fine on. Is there a torque specification for the clutch cover bolts? Two users had gone back and forth whether there was or not - just don't want to overdo my tightening is all. Thanks for the help again y'all!!
