First clean it off with brakleen and see if it re-appears. If it does I doubt if it is from the road.

I don't know about the dye but if it's not coming from a seam maybe you have a porous case (casting) that is weeping oil. Several people have reported them on here.

BTW, before you go crazy rule out any practical joker friends who will spray oil on or under your bike to make you go beserk. One of my friends did that and kept coming by and adding gas to my gas tank. I thought my bile was leaking oil and getting 70-80 mpg.
