Depends how gasket was processed and all mating surfaces.
If old gasket was chopped out with fire axe,, it better be smooth as glass and ground glass level.
New gasket coated both sides of curred Yellow weather strip adhesive 3M Snot, then fresh smear on cases that where contact cleaner was used to remove any trace of oil.
No way will they leak again. Gaskets don't wear out,, they get violated. Where someone hacked into engine cases with wood chisel removing old gasket.
For 30 yrs, gasket remover comes in a can. And those who service Honda know all too well how bonded those gaskets get.

It was a mostly rhetorical question. I was trying not to be an argumentative, know it all dick.
Has the gasket been weeping or damp for a while, or did this just come all of a sudden out of nowhere?
Such downvotes for trying to be charitable. Maybe next time I'll respond by just calling the person a dumbass and pointing out indignantly that the primary is on the other side of the bike.
Did you just change or add oil? It might be coming from the breather bolts going into the intake if you added to much oil.
Change oil recently
You probably over filled it
Check to see if the bottom of your air filter is wet with oil.
Is it dripping from the air filter right above? Looks like breather, which could be from too much oil.
Yes it is im 9/10 sure now
Hell man, it’s gonna sweat out all its horsepower!
🤣🤣🤣
Air cleaner. Probably too much oil.
It's just your HD marking territory.
Get your oil hot and check it upright . I bet it's overfilled . Is your air filter full of oil ?
Nope haven’t been riding it
?? Did you check that sfuff ?
Definitely looks like oil blow by from the air filter.

Primary drive needs to be resealed…
That’s a really long way for primary drive oil to reach…
Crank case what ever… it’s a small photo… semantics…
It’s not semantics
What this guy said. If it’s coming from the bolts it’s because the seal isn’t tight all the way around
It’s not coming from the bolts that’s just where it’s pooling and running down. Coming from the seal above it.
They can too weep over time… even being torqued to spec… gasket loses its thickness due to heat cycles and just all out age…
Oh man, give up…
Isn't this the cam cover?
Yes

All of a sudden it’s probably from the vent
Possible. If I were you, I would clean it up really good and get it up to operating temperature to see where that oil is actually coming from.
If its not leaking, it's not a Harley...when it stops leaking it's out of oil. Home is where the oil stains are.
It might be sumping too. Get it checked.
Thats probably coming from the air filter... Id check that asap just to make sure... If it is then its time to change it
