Default Slight oil leak??

I noticed some oil on the left side of the bike today. It runs and drives fine not sure what could be causing this. Is this a simple fix of a sign of a bigger problem.

i am pretty sure its oil but i could be wrong. I do clean the bike after every ride. The other Z I have does not have this problem and they get equal ride time and always on the same trails.

Nice first post. There's a lot of constructive help in this forum. If you talk normal, and respect other members, you'll get the same in return.

If it is oil I wouldn't be scared of it, its not much. One drop of oil can go a long way at staining something.

if it is oil it may just be from the starter drive o-ring being worn ...just keep an eye on it.
