Default Cylinder Leaks?

I was cleaning up the bike today after running through some rain and getting the usual spray of dirty water all over the bike. I noticed at the base of both cylinders some staining where the jugs meet the case. It doesn't look like an active leak. If you put your finger on it it's not oily. Looks like it weeped and dried up or something. It's an 06 dyna with less than 1500 miles. 1000 mile service done a few weeks ago and oil level was not over serviced or anything. The stain is on both cylinder bases. Is this normal?
