I hit a gravel patch the other day and took a nasty spill on my Vespa. I now noticed what seems to be an oil or gas leak. I think I've identified the source - it appears to be coming from a hole with no cap. I'm not very savvy so hopefully someone can identify how to fix this. I attached some photos for reference. Thanks!

Looks like oil coming from the air filter. When the bike went down the oil has mad it's way to the filter.

Open it up and you will need to clean the oil filter.

What LXMAN said. Also clean out the bubble as it will probably be full. Need to lightly oil the filter before you put it back in. I just use a little engine oil but you can buy a spray can of filter oil i think.
