wot does the inside of the filler cap look like?

I don't think you need to worry.

Can't say mine was the same but As it's a new bike it probably has extra additives in the oil for running in.

Also you have the 24 month warranty if there is a problem.

Make sure you air your concerns at it's first service which is due at due at 600 miles.

Second thoughts....

I would ask the place you bought it from or the place you're going to take it for it's first service before riding it.

Or wait for a conclusive answer from the org.

Hate to say this, but how thick is the white stuff on the window...
as you might have some coolant in your oil, so a gastket might have gone internally, fitting a new gasket is quite simple, first thing I would do is drain the oil and see what it looks like... Oil good, Yoghurt bad... if it looks like oil then flush the old oil out and replace the oil filter.

Have you been doing a lot of short journeys on it, where the bike doesnt really get up to its proper operating temperature.

If so it may just be condensation build up on the sight glass, my SV used to do that with alot of short journey work and my GSXR does the same.

Otherwise echo what the others have said take it back and get it looked at.
