just curious - i've been using 10-50 grade oil. do you think it has any thing to do with the leak

I don't think that has anything to do with the leak..(or should it?  )
Best bet is take it to the dealer and get it sorted once and for all..under warranty  Even though it's a fair distance away from you, but still.

2009 G5 gets a slight film of oil on right  side cylinder fins and on the top of engine case on right side.  Doesn't happen after everyride, just notice it off and on.  Did check torque on head bolts and they were to spec.  Can't track source down.  So far my approach is very complex - wipe it off when noticed and keep an eye on oil level (doesn't seem to be affected).  Using Castrol semi-synthetic 20-50.  I just chaulk it up to bikes British heritage!
