Leaks?

I have 4000 miles on my S2R 1K and the other day I noticed a little spot on the concrete under the primary gear. I looked it over and there is a little film over entire area. So today I pull out the trusty hex wrench and low and behold just about every bolt is a little loose. I am hoping that this fixes it. Question is, have any of you experienced similar? My guess is the heating and cooling just made the aluminum grow a bit. Now I am thinking of giving her an entire once over.

I've got just under 11000k's on my 07 S2R 800, I regularly crawl around and check random bolts and fasteners, I have found a few loose items here and there, but nothing drastic.

I give em a tweak and they are all OK, mind you now the bike has a few K's on it, so loose bolts/fasteners are a very rare thing.

Or any that gave me a lot of trouble now have a touch of Loctite on them, so no problems now.
