Testastretta Oil leak

i have been in the process of tracing an oil leak to it source for some time, i originally notice this last summer during the hot weather after the engine temp got upto about 100c on the odd slow bit of riding, i moped it up and it seemed to disapear, till this year i noticed again after some slower riding when the engine temp had been up a little puddle of oil once again behind the rear cylinder, at first i though it was coming from the rocker cover, but since renewing the gasket and being precisely careful (as if performing surgery to her) replacing the cover and sealing it, i found it odd that i still had a leak on my return from france the other week. From further examination it appears that the leak is coming from under the belt cover near the rear cylinder head nut area.

whats the next thing to do?

whats under the gasket to the side of the cylinder, could it be coming from under there?
do i attempt this leak myself? looks like a belts off job??

Advice Please?!!?

Nelly??

Anyone???
