My 5yr old GS1100 leaks from the cylinder block (joint nearest the crankcase) on runs above 6000rpm. Didn't use to, now both sides do it. It started after a speedy two-up fully loaded trip and some steep hills.
I reckon the stud bolts have stretched a little and stretch further at top revs - it doesn't leak if I stay below 6000rpm or don't beast it with a heavy load.
I've had this happen with a car engine and Clymers says that studs are supposed to be re-torqued after 600 miles of new/rebuild, Haynes doesn't mention this.
My bet is that very few dealers take the rocker cover off and do this, and it stays fine until somebody starts to explore the limits of the engine revs/torque.

Looks like the oil pressure switch needs tightening or the washer replacing, no expert though.

that would be you oil pressure switch then, down to your stealer's and ask him to replace the switch or maybe just the seal [circular composite thing, not somat that swims and eats fish by the way.............]

Looks like the Oil Presure Switch mate
Take the wire off and give it a bit of a nip up with a socket should be 30Nm acording to me manual, then clean it so you can see if thats where its coming from.
Let us know how you get on

Whats that 'stuff' I can see through the oil level inspection window? Is it some sort of cooking oil used in bakery? Squished mollasses? Marmite?
Can't be engine oil - surely
