Actually that pic was taken after the head cover was washed off, Hub but all there was on the cover was dust and some small gravel and tiny chunks of asphalt. The Tbodies were not washed because I wanted to show this pic first.
What say air turbulence and it's more rust and dirt than oil. Does it smell like oil? Is it tacky/filmy like oil?
No rust anywhere on the bike. I shmeared my finger through the film and it definitely feels greasy like oil saturated with dust.
Wipe it clean and monitor it.
That's what I've been doing since I first noticed it 5 1/2 years ago. It doesn't seem to be getting worse. I think I may be overserviing the oil a bit. I don't use a measuring cup or anything but I put in very close to what the book recommends for oil capacity (1 gallon, 10 fl oz). My oil is at the top line when I check it. Maybe I should shoot for center of the lines.
