i just changes my oil in my bike and noticed a small little drip of oil and me being paranoid about my bike like to know what thell it is from?.. i put teflon tape around it and snugged the bolt up really good.. but it still keeps on dropping every so often.

Try a new washer. You can also get a new magnetic drain plug for like $10, maybe your threads are a little tired.

Maybe it is from the cam chain tensioner bolt, or, maybe a leak from the case halves.

look for cracks, you have have a cracked case and if so break out the jb weld.

i would probably start with a new bolt and washer, or the very least washer. See if that helps.
