Default Yellow stain on outer primary (possible gas leak)

Had a yellow stain on my outer primary cover from it sitting for a month while i was training in the field. The wife started the bike about once a week let it run and that was it it was not moved. The stain is directly under were the quick disconnect is for the gas tank. I had this "o ring" replaced. Just wondering if anyone would know what this could be. Thanks. I"ll post pictures if you need it.

Thanks all for your help.

solvent and a tooth brush will help, if the goof off does not work i would try acetone, as it should just be alumnium, or some metal polish
