If it was chain lube it would be on the left side, not the right. And the sprocket cover on the engine pretty much keeps that crud under control. Its possible that its leaking from the manual cam chain tensioner (past the o-ring around the main adjusting bolt) or from around the gasket. Has the bike ever been laid down? I have an F2 and it had been crashed several times before I acquired it and I found that it had been slid so many times that my stator cover was actually so thin that oil was practically weeping through it even though I couldn't see any holes. Make sure your dipstick o-ring is in good shape. Or its coming from the clutch cover gasket.
