Being your first bike and all I can see how you might get excited about stuff like this, but as stated by others, leaky gaskets can happen (for various reasons) and once installed and torqued properly (torque is VERY important) you won't have any other issues with it. By the way, I subscribe to the "if you want it done right you'll do it yourself" school of thought--don't be afraid to do the work yourself. . .it ain't rocket science.
As far as the corrosion on the electrical component, that ain't a big deal either--you replaced it with new and you won't have further problems with it.
Enjoy the new bike and don't sweat the small stuff!

nice bike. I'd be compelled to do the gasket myself. as said not a big issue. The 5k once over is a good idea if it is your first bike. I would be inclined to tell the dealer where you bought it that he oughta make good for the leak seeing as he probably tlod ya he went over the bike before he put it on the floor.
