After a ride I noticed a small spot of oil on the floor of the garage. It is coming from the right side behind the foot peg. It actually appears to be coming from the cover that sits behind and below the front sprocket cover.

I tightened the bolts on that cover and it doesn't appear to be leaking as bad, but there is still a seaping type leak.

Does anyone have any advice?

sounds like the gear change mechanism cover. It should be an easy gasket to replace, but you'll have to take a few things off to get to it, like footpegs (maybe) sprocket cover, etc.

See how it does, and replace the gasket if it keeps leaking.

I thought I had a lead from there (it is the transmission cover) but it turned out to be from the transmission output shaft (aw.. the sprocket shaft) which is above, so naturally the oil drips onto the trans cover and it looks like its coming from there.
If you do choose to open the trans cover, remember there's alot of oil behind it. I believe you have to remove the sprocket to access one of the bolts. So you'll have a change to check the shaft seal.
