Below is a pick of a wet area that keeps coming back. Has anyone ever had this before? Not sure if its the gasket around the silver thingy or if it is coming from another area. What am I getting myself into?
Oil leak

Is it possible that you just spilled a bit while adding oil? Or maybe need a new O-ring on the filler cap?
Looks like it could be gasket around PAIR valve (silver thingy).
I would suspect oil fill cap first. Clean it up good, ride it then check it out.
I have spilled a little there before.

Also pull the spark plug wires and see if there's anything pooled or spattered in the holes.
When you pull the PAIR valve cover, tilt it up and look at the underside of the hose fitting. If the clamp isn't installed properly, that may leak oil.

You could also try running with the silver plastic cover off and see if anything shows fluid.
Next time you lift the fuel tank, remove the airbox cover and see if the crankcase breather has blown engine oil all over the place.
I'm guessing the airbox breather will have oil in there. Has the engine oil been over filled at any time?

Cleaned everything up including the oil filler cap. Rode today and no oil in site. Must have been the rubber washer on the filler cap. Thanks guys.
