I think that it may be related to your service. I saw this on mine and when 
I actually looked closely at it, I was getting residue from the chain wax 
dripping from the front sprocket cover. It happens to drip directly onto 
the shifter shaft. When you look at it quick it appears that it is leaking 
at the seal. On the other hand, I have heard a couple of people that got 
the seal replaced. Clean it up really well and check it again.
