Left side, crankcase leak?

Hi Everyone!

I just bought a CB 550 and I love it. When I bought it, the seller had it up on the center stand. When I got home, I put the kickstand down. Later, I had an oil puddle on the garage floor. When on the center stand, no leak.

From the research I´ve done, it looks like the crankcase is leaking from the bottom. It´s the cover located above and back from the Honda cover (clutch).

Is there a seal for this that I can just replace? Or is there something more substantial that needs fixing?

Thanks.
