I've usually had good luck finding a small leak by washing/scrubbing all the oil off the engine, letting it dry and then spraying the suspected sport and surrounding area with spray starch. Let the starch dry well (it turns white), then run the engine and look closely. The oil seep will be easy to see. A strong shop light helps to see in the fins, etc.

I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion. H.D.T. -
FINALLY FOUND THE LEAK!! Here's what I did. I took off the cam end cap as suggested. Took her for a short spin and immediately saw oil leaking out from the bottom of the half moon gasket! When I checked for leaks in this area in the past, I waited for the bike to cool down so I wouldn't get burnt feeling around the engine and valve cover gasket. I think this allowed any oil that was behind the cap to burn off completely before I would come by later and check. Every time I checked for oil there before it was bone dry. Problem solved!! Thanks everyone for the help.Comment
