New oil leak

In my seemingly never ending quest to rid my 83 1100 from oil leaks a new one has sprung up. Left side of motor sitting on bike where the cases bolt together in the front behind pipes. I've had a number of Kz bikes and never had one leak there. The last one was the o ring in the cam chain tensioner was understandable. The one before that o rings on the oil pressure sending unit was also understandable. But dam now the case ? Anyone have any input on this? Splitting cases to reseal only a pain? I guess I should add that I understand the process but was more wondering when the cases are split what's going to fall out lol Thanks

I cleaned engine again and I guess I was mistaken about source of that leak at case split location. However while riding it yesterday I noticed oil dripping from bottom of motor near clutch cover housing. I noticed drops of oil around primary drive. I DO NOT HAVE PICS as I was using a mechanics mirror to attempt to locate source under bungee. I literally feel like the little boy with his thumb in the dike. As soon as I get one stopped another one starts.
