George: I had many Honda and Yamaha inline-4s back in the 80's / 90's and I recall all of them putting out a wee bit of oil sweat around the head gaskets, and maybe in a case a tiny amount at the cylinder seal. Not enough to be concerned, but it collected grime and was somewhat annoying, but functionally benign. They seemed to be worse during the warm summer riding season.
Today, well into the 21st century - yes, I might feel even more perturbed. I learned to accept it back in the 20th century, but not sure if I could today. I would probably endure it until the next maintenance cycle requiring lifting the cover.
