I have noticed oil leaking from what i presume air filter box as it drips down to the engine on the air intake to cylinder (left side but i usually let it stay on center stand).
I have wiped a small amount of oil from bottom of air filter box, but I still see oil stains.
Pictures are after slight clean up.
The bike is a 2013 R1200GS and only has 12k miles, other than this she runs strong and well.
Any ideas?

Hi there
Any luck with this ?
I have a theory. It could be a fuel overflow that pours down, gets caught in that section and leaves that yellowish deposit as it evaporates.
Happened to me today, fuel overflow protection didn't work at the local fuel station, wallet also got a good dousing of unleaded.
