This is the first time I have having this issue. I cannot tell exactly where the oil is leaking from? Has anyone else had this problem? I'm guessing it's leaking from the oil filter that I changed a couple weeks back, but I don't know why it would start leaking now?

Don't ride that thing until you get it figured out or your gonna do some serious damage to trans and engine. Sounds like maybe your filter or oil drain plug is loose. Take fairings off and check everything carefully. If you have rear and front stands that would be helpful.

Can you take some high quality pictures of the oil filter and drain plug? Based on what you said it sounds like the gasket on the filter is bad but I would also look at the washer on the drain plug since that is a common culprit of oil leaks.
Ok so I woke up this morning and took these pictures.
I looks like its leaking from the bottom of the oil filter so I tightened it as much as I could. I thought it might have been because I put too much oil in it but that doesn't seem to be the case. I'm going to take it for a very short ride to see if it still leaks after riding. Thanks guys. I appreciate you guys helping out.
I'd just run it without riding it. It'll leak and you can watch for the trickle. With it running down like it does, you're apt to get oil on the rear tire going down the road.

I think the oil filter was just a little loose. I hand tightened it as much as possible and it seemed to have stopped the leaking. It hasn't leaked in the last couple days. Thanks guys. I'll let you know if I ever experience any other issues.
