| My experince with car racing engines is that oil leaks can be the very devil to find because they usually only manifest themselves when the the engine is very hot, and the oil consequently is thin!
If it is a roadgoing bike I would run it hard to get it hot, clean it off and then set about it with talc/crack test developer on the paddock stand. Luckily the oil does retain its heat so you can do that and still have hot oil.
I have a leak on a Vauxhall racing engine at present, which I cannot find in the garage, but sure enough it re appears when used on the track!
Good luck!
