Hopefully it's just a loose fitting that you can tighten down (oil tank to the fill tube, or at the banjo fitting on the bottom of the tank, or possibly a loose oil sight glass). The worst case scenario would be a cracked oil tank, but a new one shouldn't cost too much & isn't too hard to replace. Good luck!

the oil line from the tank to the carb might be split. It could be split where it attaches to the tank, but I found mine was split right where it passed out of the frame to the carb. You couldn't even tell as it was hidden in the grommet. But years of flexing at that point had caused a nice split there.

All easy stuff to check. All you need is a screwdriver and a socket wrench and an hour (at most)
