So a good dig around underneath it later hasnt turned up much new 
Good call on the external oil pipe, I wasnt aware of that, but it doesnt seem to be the problem. Its caked in black gunk but nicely dried on, theres no signs of oil leaking through it and making the gunk wet or washing it away like it did on the oil sump. When I started, the sump was caked in about a decades worth black road gunk, as I had it off I scrubbed it down with meths and WD40 to get it mostly clean and easier to see any oil.
Pics wise:
Heres the main culprit, this is taken from the front of the bike, thats the kickstand mechanism in the background on the right hand side to give you an idea of where youre looking.

Big fat drop of oil just about to fall off. To me it looks like its coming from around that Allen bolt, it seems to be the only area thats significantly "wet" looking.

The rest of the sump and gasket looks dry, brand new oil filter, no leaking from the filter or oil cooler either by the look of it.

Looking at it from this side, theres perhaps a little bit of oil here too? This is taken by the gear lever.
