leaking oil under motor

[vdubracer33]

noticed I was going through a bunch of oil. long story short found out oil was dripping from under the motor. got the motor freed up enough to look under it and I believe it is coming from either the line or the brass nipple that goes into crank case. question is what is the likelyhood its the brass fitting? or more than likely just the line? I could just order the fitting just in case but never have fooled with one before. does it just unthread? kinda bummed because now that I have clutch off I would love to do turks clutch setup but after extensive reading in the forum I am still lost lol and no idea where to get the rivets etc.

If its under the motor, may be the hose is cracked or clamps are off or loose.

awesome thanks alot!!! hey any idea what the heck an engagement shim is? it says add 2 or 3 engagement shims

nevermind I figured out shims from an old 570 are what I am looking for. just dont know the difference it will make if I use 2 or 3

the shims raise the engagement rpm by about 100 rpm per shim.
