looks like the chain lube build up at the front sprocket dripping with hot temps. When was the last time you cleaned up around the front sprocket? Where is your engine oil drain plug located?
 
Did you just fill up with gas, could be fuel from over filling
 
I.....have never done that I guess. And yes I spray chain oil two nights ago, although I rode the bike yesterday and did not find anything like this.

The engine oil plug is not near the leaks
 
That stain could have been there from another vehicle.

Check your oil level. If it’s okay, ride home and when you park the bike, put something underneath (oil pan, cardboard, paper towel, newspaper) and check it after a couple of hours.

To put your mind at ease, next time you're done riding put a clean piece of newspaper under that area when you park it. It could be chain lube, fuel*, engine oil (countershaft seal leak), coolant (that doesn't look like it to me but overflow can still drain there) or it might not be your bike at all. Keep putting something under there until you find a leak or until you get tired of it.

I'm dead serious, by the way. I am the sort of person who needs to check that like twenty times before I finally believe it wasn't my bike.

*Some people may make a habit of putting as much fuel in the tank as possible (your owners manual will tell you not to do this) and not realize that the bike will just dump it out after residual heat from the motor heats up the fuel
