Any common oil leaks on the belt side??

I was rotating my tires and just happened to look and see oil all over the motor on the belt side. There's no puddle not even a drop on the floor.

Re: (vibe_guy)

this is what my fluid looks like. I wiped it off with my fingers and rubbed it around.

Re: (tribalman)

The fluid is full and there's no leaking. as far as rpm it's at any speed directly after I let off this gas no brakes applied. The second it idles down while coasting I guess I should say is when that happens. It doesn't down shift because then the rpm would raise quite a bit and you'd feel the moto...
