I need a little help, what do you think it is and how easy will it be to fix?

It is most likely a gasket. You should get it changed right away to prevent running lean and seizing the engine.

You might want to take the front plasics off and remove the gas tank. Then retourque all the top head bolts. they will loosen up eventually.

I agree with thexotic1. Just be very careful not to over tighten and break a head bolt. I did that about 12 years ago and learned an expensive lesson. Polaris's are know for this and this solution usually works.
