Fluid leaking from somewhere and can't tell where

Update: Found out it had been overfilled so I drained the oil until it was only filling up the sight glass halfway and wiped off any residual oil will check it again tomorrow to see if there is still leaking and then will check all the o-rings if there is new oil on the cardboard. will have to do an oil change soon as the oil looked similar to metallic paint. Engine has around 1100 miles on it at the moment so I'm not sure if the metallic look is normal. I'm told that rotella diesel oil is good for these high compression air cooled singles as opposed to normal 5w or 10w oil. Which oil have you put in your hawk or other air-cooled China bikes?
