Drain oil tank before storage.
Easiest is to drain the tank. If you want to put the effort in then take off everything on the clutch side and clean + dry, fill the oil tank and watch to see where the oil is coming out, set on a clean flat dry pad ,that helps determine if there is a broken delivery line or a leaking gasket, tank vent or its leaking down between the bar and mount pad.
