Have you cleaned it well so that you can determine if the oil is coming from the left or right side of the primary?
If it is coming from the left, snug up the drain plug a quarter turn (did you use teflon tape on the drain plug when reinstalling?).
Snug up the five derby cover (clutch inspection cover) screws or better, replace the quad ring (gasket).
If the leak seems to be from the right side of the primary, is it chain case oil, or does it seem to be tranny oil or engine oil?
If you are getting a "leak" on the right side of the primary, but can not seem to find a source for the leak, do you still have that goofy u-tube shape short piece of hose on the transmission vent? I had that spraying a fine mist of transmission oil on the right side of the primary that I fussed with for weeks until I figure it out. I just got a longer hose and routed it across the top of the tranny to the rear of the starter and over by the over flow hose on the right side of the bike hanging down towards the road.
Anything more than this will probably mean taking stuff off the bike to see where the leak is. Good luck.

It left a few drops yesterday after a long and hot run here in Orange Co. Wiped it down last night and did not see anything new today.
I did tighten the drain plug, but I noticed it doesn't bottom out, it just keeps turning, but that does not seem to be where the leak is coming from.
All other bolts were tight.
