Hi all,
It appeared after starting the engine for a few minutes for the first time of the day after being left overnight.
There is also a burnt smell while the engine runs.
Is this an oil leak?

Re: Is this an oil leak?
What’s the oil level look like? Put a bit on your fingertip - if it tastes sweet it’s coolant. Have you done any work to the scoot recently ?

Re: Is this an oil leak?
Recently changed to a new stock clutch, that's all.
I went to the workshop and was told that there was a problem with the "cam cover gasket", causing the leak and bad smell. Not sure if he meant the valve cover gasket.
Will be going to another workshop for another opinion.

If it doesn't taste sweet, its carcinogenic.
Never stick vehicle fluids anywhere near your mouth.
Or other bodily orifices.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

Simply judging by all the burned oil on the header, you probably do have a leak.
