Wierd oil leak from Kickstand on my BMW c650GT

Hi guys,
Couple of days ago I noticed some oil drops on the bottom of the kickstand. The part that touches the ground. Everything else looks fine. There are no leaks when I park the bike. The kickstand arm is fine just the bottom triangle messes up the floor.
Has someone had any issues like this?
I suppose the kickstand is touching a part that leaks and just gets wet, but the weird thing is that everything looks clean, no drops under the bike.
Also I started having some missfires when the motorcycle is cold. The first 3-5 min. It is like choking. Almost dropped it when pulling out from 0.

Thanks for your help.

Maybe the chain oil bath box has a leak? Check along the bottom seal.

Hey Ben,

Did you check your oil recently? If so, are you sure you got the dip stick perfectly back in place? If not, oil can end up in all kinds of weird places on the bike. Don't ask how I know.:rolleyes:
