Depends on where it's coming from. Personally I'd take a look at the plastic clutch cover on the right of the bike as they are renowned for leaking and the oil tends to run to the bottom of the engine.

Depends on what's causing it - need more info to give an answer.

When you say 'right at the bottom' it might mean the drain plug, maybe.
