Default Oil Dipstick blowby?

My 2008 Fatboy seems to get small (very small) specs of oil on the chrome oil tank (below the oil dipstick) when riding.

Has anyone else had this problem? Could it be the rubber around the dipstick is not sealing properly?

Could it be coming from the air cleaner and flying back as you ride?

I hate it when my dipstick leaks!

I guess it's part of getting older
