 It is probably a leak from the top center head bolt. Inside
the
rocker chamber is a big bolt head or a big allen head plug which covers the
top center head bolt. This plug had a crush washer on the old bikes and an
o-ring on the newer ones. It is a VERY common source for head leaks on a
Guzzi.

Thanks for that info; I've got a similar leak on my Ambo, and was
suspecting that the little cylinder head bolt seals got tweaked when I
put it back together.
I like your idea better...
