Thats the clutch cover you're talking about i guess... it is only plastic, and separated from the main side case by an 'O' ring. the fall may have just tweaked the joint or cracked the casing. Either way, likely to pee oil worse than an old brit bike. Solved mine with a new casing and later model 'O' ring (they're a bit fatter).
