Went to fire up the sled and let it run a bit. Noticed a pool of oil on the garage floor under the chaincase. Bottom of the chaincase is oil on it. Don't have time to look into it further this week. Have to check it out later. A little over 500 miles on it.
 
Have you ever been into the chaincase?
If your at 500 miles its time to change the oil in there anyways. While you are in there replace the seal with the new updated seal. This shouldresolve your issue.
If by chance you just changed your chaincase oil recently, its possible some debris is wedged between the gasket and the chaincase cover causing it to not seal properly. Happened to me after my first chaincase oil change
 
Look for cracked tabs/missing tabs where screws go through and crack running up the left side about 3in up. Tanks have had 2 updates since 14's one was for cracks. Warranty.
 
Haven't been in the chaincase yet. Just broke 500 miles on a late spring ride. Since I work out of state haven't had time to do the first service yet. I'll look for cracks Cannondale mentioned.
