Engine oil viewing mirror cracked

Got my bike today, but unfortunately landed on its side lightly as I was going to try it out. Everything was fine except for one part: the viewing window of engine oil

Needless to say, all the oil leaked out, and I can't ride it.

Just wondering if anyone might know approximately how much I have to spend fixing it. Thanks a lot for everyone!

Btw, it's a 2007 ninja 250 EXF

No idea about how much it will cost to fix but here are the instructions:

http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/How_do_I_replace_the_sight_glass?
 
They are generally pretty simple they replace from the inside usually with a slip ring. Make sure to replace the sealing O ring
 
Kawasaki windows normally press in from the outside, that one looks just like mine do and its very easy to change. The window is one part # with the glass and the sealing rubber being one unit. Simply pry the old on out from the outside, or take the cover off and pop it out from the inside, lube up the rubber on the new window when you get one and press it in till its seated all the way. These are usually only $10-20 from the dealer.
 
Just want to update the status for anyone else that might have this issue:

The "window" is actually called a oil level gauge, $12.33 after tax from snowcity. i just used a plier to remove the old one, and push the new one into the same spot. Easy install, with no oil leak. The part number is 52005-1009 for my 2007 Ninja 250.

Thanks for everyone that replied the thread to help me out. Almost had to pay $100+ towing and probably $50 for labour... now .. it's only ~$13 + 2 bottle of oil!

Oh and about that o-ring that kneedragger88 mentioned, it's not a separate part, it's one piece with the "gauge"
