That comes out of the back of the sump pan on my Griso has a minor oil run showing on it and the webbing covering the tube running into it is wet with oil. I pulled the tank off and followed it back to the collector box at the steering head and found that the webbing is only wet at the bottom. I noticed this on Saturday and gave it a wipe clean. Rode again yesterday and it was dry.

I am a bit concerned as the pipe runs to the sump beneath the oil level and if anything were to come apart things could get a bit slippery.

Should i be concerned ?
 
Well, I would be a bit concerned. I wouldn't panic, but I would check the fitting to be sure it is tight. And if oil shows back up I would likely take the fitting apart and re-do it, maybe with some extra sealant.
It is not a pressure fitting, just the return from the oil separator back to the sump. But you don't want an oil leak, even if it is a small one.
