I normally do my own oil changes but the dealer did the last one. I am currently waiting for the oil to drain. When I got the drain plug off I noticed this blue stuff on the drain plug and some on the oil pan. Kinda like the wax seal they put on liquor bottles. Was not there from the factory (I did the first oil change). Is this some sort of tamper seal the dealer put on?

Might be some sort of QA to make sure the plug is in and secured properly. Can’t think why they’d want a temper seal.

Its called torque strip. You add it after you have torqued the bolt. It lets them know if someone has taken off the bolt when you bring it back to them.

Cobra is correct. We call it torque seal in aviation. Can be used to see if someone tampers with it of course, but it is mainly used to quickly tell if the bolt/nut has come loose at all. Can perform quick and dirty preflights this was without worriing about stuff coming loose without ur knowledge.
I use this on all my bikes too btw. Great piece of mind.
