Small Oil Drops - 2006 T100 865 Carb.

Hello and best wishes for 2024!
My bike has been standing for over 4 weeks in my garage (miserable winters in North West England) and I just realised there's a bit of oil underneath the engine.
I managed to take a couple of pictures. It looks like it's running along this small wire that is plugged very close to the oil filter. The oil filter isn't leaking at all BTW.
Any idea where it's coming from and how do I stop this?
Hopefully nothing too serious?
So far, the bike has been a joy to ride!
Best wishes to everyone.

Is it coming from the sensor? Looks like there’s some oil type dirt and wetness on some of the other wires and on the case near joints. I’d clean the engine and inspect. Take photos. I’d add UV die to the oil and run the engine a bit to get it warm. Check the engine periodically with a UV light. It should find your leak if just a visual inspection doesn’t do it.

Check if the oil goes further up the wire near the rectifier. The oil may be coming from the rectifier connection to stator.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I will clean the engine first. Waiting to receive some Break Cleaner cans!
Will get back to you when I'm doing the job.
Best wishes
