Didn't notice a washer o o-ring on this when I torqued the heads this
spring. Will check that out.
Thanks!

Don't yet. 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.
