Riding new XR from Alabama to Miami.

Just got this new xr and noticed this at a gas station. Right at 1000 miles. What could it be? Doesn’t look like oil to me. Coming from drive shaft

First time I bought a new Honda, I had this issue. Just like bcmgluckgluck said, it was just hot chain sauce.

Your countershaft seal could be leaking oil.
