So I picked up a 01 Yamaha vstar 1100, and there is a small oil leak. It was leaking from the valve cover so I replaced that and fired it up to make sure it wasn’t leaking and noticed it coming from this area the stud for the exhaust

Anyone have any insight on this ??

Probably residual oil from the initial leak. Ride it for a couple of days and see if the oil burns off.

Well I noticed when running it the oil was dripping from the bolt which made me think it was leaking from somewhere there plus the little lip on the case oil will pool there when it runs and I soak it up it looks again
