That is not the head gasket. It is the valve cover gasket, and the 09 had a bad run of them. Just order another or if your bike is on warranty they should cover it. Anyhow when you do your first valve check change it out. It is a bugger to get the old one back on, a new one goes on nicely.

My '09 is leaking too. Only had 1000 miles on it when it started. I smeared some black RTV on the outside of it which slowed the leak down quite a bit. It's not enough to bother me anymore.

Yeah, Kawasaki should be covering all those '09 leaking valve cover gaskets at no charge, and it sounds like some have pursued it to the point of getting some money back or at least a new gasket.
