Just done some work on scoot and took her for a spin, when I got back this thick black oil was around the joint between exhaust and end can. Never had this before, is it simply the joint is leaking or anything else that might need attention?

Specs- Ts1 225, jl3, delly 30mm running rich at the mo till dyno next week :D

You can get a silicone slip joint to cover the joint , they sell them on e-bay and you can get coloured ones or black.
