Default oil leak look like from under the gas tank, please help.

Not sure what bike you have or how much oil there is.
Personally I’d prove things to put my mind at rest. Whip the tank off, check your air box and filter. It could just be a build up of crank case oil laced fumes. Check your breather pipe and it’s connections.
Get to that electrical connector and give it a thorough clean up. Are both indicators on one side not working?
Best of luck mate.

Thanks so much, now I have a starting point. Shop work is too expensive for me ( 68 yrs old retired ). Thanks again, C.

There’s always plenty of help through this forum.
As you said, you now have a starting point and you can always ask questions as you progress through things.
Maybe post a picture alongside also.
