I think that is just a drain for the oil that blows past and comes into the air filter housing......

If so, that is basically the container for any oil to accumulate from the crank-case vent system. The stock system is messy - if I remember it makes a mess through the air cleaner system etc. A lot of people remove all that stuff and just put a hose to the ground.

The only reason I ask is because For the First Time I noticed it because the first time there was some oil on my garage floor from it after about a one-hour ride. Actually I wiped it up so quickly I wasn't even able to confirm that it is oil and not something else. Pretty stupid I know and also stupid that I am not able to really Trace where it comes from on the engine. But anyway that's why I have you guys the experts who inform me, thanks for your help.
