Should be bone dry. Sucks to see that on a new ride. Nice bike otherwise.

Looks like the o-ring didn't seat or got pinched on that rear intake pushrod tube. No biggy but shouldn't be there, happens sometimes.

That's what it looks like to me. I'd try to fix it myself by lifting the tube and repositioning the o-ring, if that doesn't work I'd bring it back under warranty.
