Am curious if this is REALLY abnormal or if I'm getting a bit worried over nothing that's a huge ordeal.

The connection to the clutch cable on the engine on the left side of the bike appears to be releasing oil. It's not a lot and it's almost as though the wind drives the oil out. At lower speeds 45mph or under I can virtually ride and not see anything coming up from this area. At 55-70+mph it starts to run out a bit more.
Another thing I noticed is that it almost appears as though there should be a rubber gasket there where the clutch pin coming out from the engine is so as to not release oil.?. Any ideas what this could be? Am I missing a gasket and just don't know it?

Thanks for any input on this.

1. No oil leaks is NORMAL for these new bonnevilles.
2. Oil leaks are abnormal and should be fixed, IMHO.
3. There is a bearing and seal in the case cover for the clutch release arm. If yours for sure is leaking at this place, I would suspect a damaged clutch release arm seal.
