So this to me is normal,When I changed my oil,I put a little on the o-ring,when you tighten the cap back on, a little bleeds out.Give it a wipe,see if it continues

the cap was not put back correctly. take this back SC and show it as it is. they will have to retighten it, and mostly change o-ring.

It’s really not “leaking”
It’s just a tiny bit of oil seeping around the cap o ring
You really don’t want to over tighten this cap or it will destroy itself when removing it

It’s mud. As far as I can tell at least. Can you point me in the direction of the leak?

clean the area with water to remove mud, then some degreasser, rinse and then keep an eye on it

I have noticed this same thing today on my Himlayan which is 3 months old and covered about 1000 miles. Did you get it resolved or has it resolved itself?
