its an old bike (2001) with 17K and the gunk must be burnt already. hopefully there is no big issue but just check to make sure.
If the 'leak' persists, try tightening the head bolts.
DO NOT overtighten, just make sure they are at the right torque.
There is a gasket in the area of your problem,
sometimes it needs replaced, but most times
the bolts just need torqued.
Mine showed those symptoms, and torquing thew bolts fixed it.
But, like GZ250 said, sometimes it is the shipping gunk.
Good luck.
