Default leaking oil

My bike has begun to leak oil from the point where the clutch line connects to the engine case. Longer rides, anything over 40 miles, precipitate a slow trickle of engine oil. The leak is comingfrom the exact spot where the tension spring for the clutch sits on the top right side of the engine just above the service port for adding/checking the oil. Does anyone know how to stop the leak, or what may be causing the leak?
The transmission is well worn, the bike has nearly 26k miles, and the clutch does feel quite loose, if thats at all helpful.

Default RE: leaking oil

At 26oooMls you still should be fine with the clutch. You might consider taking the cover off and investigating the situation from the inside of the cover. Im nott %100 sure, but there might be a seal the needs to be changed.
Thats what i'd do anyway. And what do you mean by saying the clutch is loose?

Default RE: leaking oil

you're absolutely right, I removed the gasket to reveil a broken seal. Easy fix thanks mate.
