Looks kinda not like oil. Looks like gas that pooled there and is dirty. I cant think of anything there that would leak oil. I will check my manual and see what it shows.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

That is the oil pressure switch under the boot. I have seen a few of them leak where the plastic switch is crimped to the case and where the screw holds the connecter on. Pull the boot back and clean up the oil . start the bike and watch the switch. It probably won't take long to see the oil leaking there. If it is you will have to replace the switch. Be sure to use thread sealant when you screw the new one in.
