I suspect oil/grease is being thrown off the drive chain. The oil/grease strikes the stator cover, and drips down.

If you want to test my theory, clean the oil from the case covers with brake cleaner, and hose them off. Then clean the drive chain, but don't lubricate it. Finally, go for an extended ride, or several short rides. If the oil leak disappears after this experiment, you can be pretty confident the excess oil was being thrown from the drive chain.
