Clean the engine and get the athlete's foot powder in a spray. Cover the engine with the spray. And you will be able to see where it is coming from once the leak starts.
This is a tip from Mike Nixon at Motorcycle Project. I just can't find the link for it.

Yes, any talc type powder will do, been doing this for years, Johnson's baby powder was the one I used, not sure if they make it any more..
