Either the top head is not tightened properly or the leak is through the head gasket. SVC will fix it if you point it out to them

Thanks for your Suggestion...
I Thought it was Big Manufacturing defect.
Hope it gets Rectified by SVC...

Should I wait until then or go now..???
This won't Damage my bike if i use for a week.. Right..???

Show the bike to the SVC ASAP. Though no immediate damage may happen if ridden (provided the oil level hasn't or does not dip low), let the SVC take a call to attend to the problem now or at the service due time.

Simple as ABC, but keep a note on your oil levels.
