These holes are located just under the fins at the front under the cylinder head. I'll upload a photo.
The bike is a 2015 model storm bought brand new in 2016 and now has 90000 kms on it.
Any ideas? Thanks Dave

If oil is present it could mean a leaking cam cover seal. It can also happen after a major service when the cover is removed. Clean off the oil and monitor for continuing leakage, if so reseat the cam cover seal.

It just had a minor service at 90K but I'm wondering how long it's actually been happening. I'm not the most observant, I only noticed because oil had dripped down onto the primary drive cover.
