Big oil leak

I have Pretty good leak that seems to have just started the other day on my 02 bonnie (11500 miles) i'm not sure if its leaking from starter or front edge of the case. I noticed alot of road grime on the front of the left side case for the past couple hundred miles i thought was kind of strange and yesterday when i went to the garage to ride ride to work there was a pretty dark puddle under the front of the bike. It leaks fast enough when the bike is hot to leave 3-5 drops at stop lights, not counting what gets burnt on the header. ANy idea how much a new cover gasket and starter seal would run me?...ive got no problems with putting it in my self

just got a clutch cover gasket from baxter cycles
was $7.09 seal for starter should be much. make sure when you put cover on that the spring washer on the starter idler shaft is on the shaft .best to lean bike over to the right so it dont fall off.you might want to put shifter seal ,clutch seal and breather o-ring in it while you have it off they dont cost much lees then $30.00 total for everything
