HELP oil leak after overfill. :(
Well, ive tried to do some searching but apparently nobodys as dumb as me 
Turns out i overfilled the engine by a couple extra quarts. (dont ask)
Now i seem to have an oil leak coming from a small hole on the left side of the case. If you look where the gear indicator lights wire into, just above and to the right of that. Its on a horizontal surface so its hard to see. But you can see it with the shifter lever cover in place.
It only does it when it gets really warm. Ive ridden the bike quite a bit around the neighborhood without it starting to drip but i got it out on the street today and opened her up a bit. Got back home and the puddle began.
Now this might be an existing condition from before i got the bike as i never rode it untill after all the frame work was done.
Had to rebuild the carbs, tires and bla bla bla before i could actually jump on it.
Im not sure where to start. Im not familiar with this engine..... yet..... so im not sure if its just trying to get rid of the extra oil still or something.
I did drain completly (from the pan drain bolt) and filled back up.
Any help?
The hole doesnt look to be anything broken or anything. Looks factory made, hopefully for this reason.
Thanks guys
