Arctic Cat F5-Small oil leak

I have a 2005 Arctic Cat F5 and I have a small oil leak, but haven't been able to determine where it is coming from. I plan on digging into it a little more tonight, but after I got done with a ride on Saturday night I parked it in the garage. When I came home from work last night I notice that I've lost about 1/2 cup of oil since then. The drip was coming out between the back of the skid plate and the front end of the track on the left side (brake handle side). I pulled the skid plate off, but with it being such a slow drip I wasn't able to tell where it was coming from in the half hour or so I messed with it last night.

Any thoughts?? Thanks.

I know in automotive shops they use dyes to determine where oil leaks are coming from. Call service at a car dealer; then call AC to make sure the recommended dye will not harm your sled. Good luck.
