    Would it be a oil pipe for some bearing or bush.
    Can you take a pic.

    Is it where the rev counter cable goes in?
    There's a little hole under the screw on connection and there's nearly always a little weep of oil from it. Unless it's significant, I wouldn't get too worried about it. You can replace the seal if it's very bad.
    Have a look here.

    It's engine oil that's coming out. Just check levels including the engine oil as you would normally. There is unlikely to be that much oil being lost.
