    Found these drops whilst replacing my air filter element. The element was a little soaked too closest to that exit.

    Is this something I should be worried about?

    NOT in small amounts; it's normal, as the crankcase vents into the airbox, carrying a small amount of oil mist.

    Good to know as I am cleaning my air filter today and probably wouldn't have thought of that...
