Fairly common fault on bikes a few years old. Complex moulding that suffers from repeated heat cycles on the seam.

Its happened on my SPS before and recently on my current bike.

Don't worry, its possible to do 500 miles like that, as it cools and contracts it seems to seal again, just keep an eye on the coolant level. Got back from France with it only leaking 3 times when very hot and didn't actually need to top it up either but worrying when it first happens.
