I believe that you have identified the oil leak that develops on the upper right hand side of the cylinder - towards the valve covers ( right hand when seated on the bike)= towards the front of the engine.
There is an oil seal on one of those head bolts which has been previously discussed as notorious for developing a leak.The seal can be replaced readily but it must be throughly gooped up to hold against the oil pressure or it starts weeping again.
There are a couple of postings on this previously - let us know if we have identified the correct leak. Find those postings and you will get good advice on replacing that seal
Keep the rubber side down
