The oil filter and filter pedestal are in that area. Check there first.

That side also has a Braided Oil Line running from the cooler to just below the oil pedestal on the Iron.
If the bolt holding the oil line is loose It will leak there.
The Line uses Two crush washers,one on each side of a banjo bolt.
If you find it IS leaking there,then Try tightening it up,or get some New 18mm Copper Crush washers.
