First of all are you sure that the oil is leaking from that point, if the bike is on its side stand that looks like its lowest point. Perhaps you should wipe down the bottom of the engine and then blow some talcum powder onto the bottom of the engine and leave it stand for a few hours and see if you can see a trail through the powder from wherever it is leaking from. if it is through that bolt a small copper washer might help although the cause would be from the damaged gasket.
