Oil leak top rear cylinder

I have a VN1500 L1 FI. I noticed recently that there is a small trace of oil running down the rear top cylinder.

Is this a big concern? No way I can tighten the screw because of the bar on top.

Can I use an oil additive sealer to hopefully seal that small leak?

Any suggestions?

Thanks/Katitoy

Cam Seal leak.

I wanted to thank everyone for showing me how to fix my cam seal leak on the cheap. I did put 2 coats of the black silicon over the seals, then I cut a rubber/paper gasket to size that fit over the seal and with the same silicon, coated the gasket material and placed it over the seal. I rode it over the weekend on a 3 day trip with temperatures over 100 degrees and not not one drop of oil leaked out of those seals. Thanks Vulcan owners for saving me over 800 bucks. Ride safe!
