I have a 2001 x1 lighting that has 17,000 miles on it. After every hard ride like a buell should have it leaks about a quarter size puddle of this creamy white fluid by the oil line. Is my bike just enjoying getting beat on so much it jizzed or is my motor in need of help? Thanks guys!

Sounds like your getting the water/primary oil trash out of the primary via the vent tube connection. Not sure where the line ends on the X1. But my S's connect to the cases just in front of the battery and vented under the tail.
Nothing wrong just not running enough.
High humidity and short rides don't let the primary heat up enough to boil this water off so you get this white milky crap.
