Is that a one piece head gasket?

Unless it it is gushing like mine was, I'd leave it be. I hated having oil stains on my left boot. Always seems to travel that way. :unsure:

It appears to be running down from above that point, when looking closely at your photo.
If mine, I'd clean off all the oil evidence from the head and cylinder block, and check it again after a few rides. Don't tear it apart until absolutely sure where it is coming from. ;)

I saw that too. Are you sure you don't have a crack in a bolt casting? There's no oil in the head bolt in that area.

If you wash it up good and then spray ladies antiperspirant all over and then run it you should be able to tell where the leak begins.

If the suspected area is clean & dry, you can pour some Baby Powder in the area, start it up & wait to see where it's leaking
