Default Oil leaking on VS1400

I have a 95 VS1400 that will leak a small amount of oil (5 to 10 drops) out of the tube that connects to the front cylinder head breather and front airbox then runs down the front frame tube. This happens after Ive been out riding and then shut off the engine and park it . The bike only has 8600 miles on it . Also , is proper oil level determined with the dipstick threaded all the way in or, resting on top of the threads? Thanks for the help. I just bought the bike and am learning it.

check the oil with the bike level [not on the kick stand] don't screw on the dip stick when you check. sound like to much oil & it might be foaming
