I own a 1986 Honda Shadow 500 and was wondering if it has a pressure relief valve or something on the oil pump housing. It is leaking oil from a perfectly round hole on bottom of shaft connecting it to block!
You've got a leak. Get yourself a repair manual and follow the repair procedure for replacing the seal. I suggest you check the oil level in the motor and the drive shaft unit before driving it any further. If you absolutely need to drive the cycle be sure to closely monitor and maintain sufficient oil levels until you can permanently solve the problem.
