Gear Box Noises?

Hey Gang,
Thanks for taking the time to read.
Just this morning I noticed new noise that take place ONLY when I am coasting (no load) while in gear, 1st and 2nd. I definitely seems to correspond with the travel speed and completely goes away when even slightly throttled. I keep the oil changed and valves adjusted. Chain is recently lubed and the bike shifting as good as ever.

Is this standard gear lash beginning to show or something else? Full disclosure, I have a slight oil leak on the top end just above the exhaust coming out of the cylinder head assembly. Also, there is a small amount 'fuzz' on the oil plug when I change the oil.
