Did you happen to have your maching standing up on the grab bar? If you did, that's where the oil came from. No big deal, make sure your oil is at the proper level and call it good.

a 500?

the tube coming off is a crankcase breather tube that attaches to the top of the bottom end so the only way oil is going to come through is to have the oil physically at the top......over filling or tipping the bike up. How much oil are you physically putting in it? When you changed the oil did you drain to from both places?, bottom of engine and oil tank? It will only burp the extra oil so once its out its out which is why it only happened the one time.
