I live in Florida where it is usually pretty warm and after any 100+ mile ride I get some oil seeping out from the front of the engine it looks like it’s coming from between the center cases is this normal I’ve had the NT for about 5 years and it has always done this thanx for the input jt
 
I live in South Florida and had similar seepage on longer rides, or when i was doing higher speeds for a bit. It wasn't enough to worry, just collected dirt. It was the seal for the pulse generator wiring harness, too brittle to work 100%. Pic attached where my issue was. When that part had to be replaced the seepage went away.

I've never done this (or needed to) on my NT700, but I have had pretty good success with these small isolated seeps by cleaning VERY well with brake cleaner then applying GREEN Locktite. The green formula is made so seep into threads of screws and such, so it can make a good seal. It doesn't harden into a rock. It isn't difficult remove in the future. A little goes a long way.
