Look closely at the leak while the engine is running. Also put your hand as near as you can and see if you feel a puff of air. If you see any bubbling or feel any air you may have a leaky head gasket. This requires replacement of the gasket. You will also notice a loss of power and decreased milage. If you don't see any signs of a leaky gasket it's probably the seal around one of the head bolts and is nothing to worry about. Just pretend you own an old Harley, put a pan under it to catch the oil every night, and pour it back in the next morning.
Happy riding.
