Oil leak from vent hose?

Is this normal? The bike has been sitting for a week. The hose was still wet with engine oil. That stain on the walkway is oil.

One hose is an overflow at the gas cap when filling up and the 2nd hose is the gas tank vapor drain (EVP canister on CA bikes), if the tank was super full and sat in the sun I would expect a little fuel to drain out due to expansion...

There is also a rubber cap under the airbox on the back left side if sitting on bike... It don't hurt to pop it off once a week or after a ride in the rain or after a wash...

Thanks guys. I swear it felt and smelled like engine oil. The bike was under a black cover in the sun with nearly a full tank the past week. I rode the bike after finding the spill. I put a catch bottle under the hoses last night. Nothing in the bottle this morning.
