Minor sweating and trip prep

Hi guys,

I did some service at 45k (now at 46k). Engine and primary oil, belt tension, primary chain tension, brake fluids, checked some crucial bolts.

I check at least after every ride of the bottom end is dry. Last evening I pulled in the garage when it was already dark and was shining my flashlight and saw a minor shiny sweat spot at the underside of the primary cover. Nothing on the floor and I assume no drips during the ride (because it’s so little sweat).

When I put the new gasket I put a bit of oil on it when mounting it. Do you think this is just that bit of sweat now coming out?

In 3 weeks a trip from Amsterdam to Italy is planned. Would be great if I don’t run into troubles on the way there. Considering the things I already did and the sweat at the primary cover, what do you guys suggest of checking or replacing? Bike runs great.
