Looks to me like the cam solenoid needs to be re-sealed, but you won't know anything until you take that black plastic cover off and clean things up, and then drive the car a bit to stimulate the leak.

There is more information about the cam solenoid leak situation in this thread, and here, and here on GSXR's web site.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Gerry
