This thread (and others) on the same subject have proved useful.
My FD started showing the same symptoms as others describe at the start of this year. At first it was quite sporadic - seemed to be during warm weather and/or after motorway speeds riding. But then it fairly quickly turned into being after every ride. Never bad enough so that oil was getting onto the tyre or dripping down when stationary though.
I talked to my local dealer and presented photos of the issue from various dates. It was due a service a few weeks back and to prevent any faffing around in terms of having to take the bike back in, I was fairly insistent that they order in a final drive oil seal prior to the service.
Long story short, FD oil seal replaced under warranty and because a FD oil change was part of the service schedule for that point in time, I didn’t have to stump up the cost of that part of the service.
Been for a couple of long rides since in warm weather at all speeds and so far, all is well
