Default mystery goop

according to my service manual there are supposed to be 3 hoses/tubes that come out of the lower fairing just infront of the kickstand. The fuel tank drain hose, the fuel tank breather hose, and the coolant overflow hose. I only have 2 there, they seem to run up towards the gas tank so im assuming they are the fuel drain and the fuel breather hose. Anyways the last couple times ive went out to my bike i've notice some SMALL puddles (like maybe 5-10 drips) and its coming out of one of those hoses. it smells like gas, but there is a mystery goo mixed in with it, its yellowish in colour and has a pasty texture to it. any idea what it is?? something i should be concerned about???

thanks for the input
oh, its an 07 CBR 600rr if that matters.

I suspect that is the breather line and you're getting any moisture and dust/pollen that doesn't make it to the air filter.
