New Triumph Rider 1999 995I questions

I just picked up a 1999 955I with 7.5k miles. I am new toTriumph. Irode the bike today and it leaked oil from the right side. It looked like it was above the clutch cover and leaking down on it. I think maybe the bike was overfilled with oil. If so would it be spitting out in that area? I cleaned it and ran it at idle for a few minutes and I didnt see anything. Im going to ride it again tomorrow to see. Is there any thing else in that area I should look at? Also what else should I look for as far as maintenence? How do you adjust the chain tension? Any input would be appreciated!!!

Daytona 955I, Pick up a Haynes manual. You'll need to pull the RHS fairing and trace the leak.

Looks like it was the Cam Chain tesioner gasket. All is good!
