Need help identifying oil leak

Oil residue on front oil line behind the header as seen on this pic

I only ride this bike on the track so it spends most of its time in the 9K+ RPM range. I dont really notice any oil loss that noticeable but clearly its leaking a little from somewhere.

Silly question, but are you sure it's oil?

definitely not a silly question, I had some fluid I noticed before and It was actually residual fork oil that accumulated on the radiator. I thought its all gone by now. I will try and clean this area and I have another track day next week. So that will be a good test if it was left over fork oil spillage.

Is it the oil line fitting? They have a crush gasket like brake banjo bolts. I'd wipe it clean and fire it up to look for the leak. Check torque on fitting too.
