Finding oil patches, halp

2014 Kawasaki Ninja 300 ABS SE

I've been finding small circular patches of oil on the ground when my bike is sitting overnight or after work. My oil level seems fine, maybe even a little on the high side. Would too much oil be a cause for leakage from here? Pics hopefully below

The two changes leading up to this was the 600 mile servicing aka an oil change and a couple weeks later it was knocked over when I parked it behind my moms car (guess the rest). My frame sliders took the impact, they're Yoshimura and required drilling if relevant. Those happened about a month ago but I didn't notice the oil spots until last week.

Here's a look underneath, you can see a stream/stain of oil coming from something.

It could be oil from the crankcase breather or lubricant from excessively lubricated chain via front sprocket's cover.

Oil level should be set with bike perfectly vertical and supported by both tires.

Go get some brake cleaner spray on a rag and clean all areas really well. Take the bike for a ride come back and look with a flashlight. (also clean it when the bike is cold. ) Do not get the brake cleaner on any paint tho. Also if you can find it don't get the 50 state crap.
