    Without sounding like a smart ass, it could be anything.

    Best way to resolve this is to clean the rear of the bike free of oil and then take it for a 5-minute ride. Stop, and check all over as much as you can see of rear of motor for where a leak or breather hose is spewing it out.

    But be bloody careful. Last thing you want is oil on the rear tyre checking for where its leaking

    104 running temperature seems high, are you sure it was oil and not coolant over the rear of the bike?

    Have you checked the oil level?
    Double check the sump plug and around the filter as a minimum precaution
