Hornet 919 oil condensation / seeping through the oil filter

[OSCR]

Hello, BCF
I have bought and been riding year 2005 Honda cb919 for two months now. Absolutely in love with this beast.

Just seems to be a little problem here. Hopefully someone can help me out with this one

So I did an oil and oil filter change (have done it to other motorcycles in the past 10+ times, problem free) and after that went for a short ride. All fine, no leaks. Next day went for a 250 mile ride, and after that noticed that the surface all around the oil filter seal has a little bit of oily condensation, like a very small bit of oil has been seeping through all around the filter while riding (check pictures), no drips or leaks though.

So at first I thought it wast just the excess oil that I put around the filter gasket for better seal, escaping, so I wiped it down. Also tightened it a bit more with filter wrench, at first it was hand tight. Then went for some smaller rides through the city, no problems, then went for a longer ride again, same problem happened again. But no leaks and drips on the floor and while riding it also does not drip cause I have a spoiler under the headers and its also dry. Oil level also staying constant.

So after this I thought the filter must be defective,and decided for a new oil/oil filter change again.
Took off the old filter and inspected the gasket - did not seem defective in any way, also the filter mating surface on the motor is perfectly straight, no dents or anything.
I put in new oil and oil filter. And basically the same thing repeatedly happened again on longer rides.

Like I said there are no leaks, just this condensation type looking thing.And oil level is not dropping.
My main concern is that if a little bit of oil can get through the seal, then some road dirt and dust can get through the seal inside the motor as well. Do you think I must be concerned and hopefully have any explanations why this is happening and how should I go further about this problem.

Huge Thank You in advance

Did you oil the o-ring before fitting? You should. I've always done them hand tight and never had one leak (except for the time I accidentally left the old o-ring stuck to the gasket surface).

It's definitely coming from the filter seal, not tracking/blowing to there from somewhere else?

I'd try nipping the filter up a bit tighter.

Is the crankcase breather breathing?

I would not worry but if it bothers you fit a oem filter its not much more money

Did you clean the mating surface on the crankcase before you installed the filter?
