That's probably the gear selector shaft leaking.

I concur

 

gear selector. is that easy to repair? should i take it in to get fixed?

 

by looking at the pic - I would say it isn't a super hard job if you have
some mechanical knowledge.

take the gear selector off
take the clutch slave cyl off - leaving it on the clutch line to save you
rebleeding it later
take the sprocket cover off.

then you should be able to see the seal.

then you have a couple of options.

pick the seal out & replace like it is - being careful over the shaft (
making sure there are no burs or built up grease on it that can sour the
seal)... or

pull it all apart & do it as per the honda service manual

 

Unless its like the FZ750, which was a split the cases job (or was
that countershaft seal)

 

AND there's usually a size on the seal which means you DONT have to
buy a genuine Honda part. If you cant see any numbers and the seal isnt
too damaged take it to a bearing shop. They can measure it.
