Above the top of the exhaust header?
Valve cover gasket, valve cover bolt grommets, or maybe the seals for the ignition plug coils.
What I would do is clean the whole area off with some brake cleaner and go ride for a while. Then go back and check where the fresh oil is coming from.

Re: oil leak cant find from were?? help
there is a hose on the left side of the valve cover it's your crankcase breather hose and when the bike is lying on it's left side with the idle up it will pump oil into your air box and there is a drain on your air box so you may not actually have a leak you may just need to do the clean air mod ....
or it's what they said ^^^^^^^
