Well if I get any pan/case leak jobs in the shop,I'll call.You must have the remove/replace time down to a record.
Here's what I would do:
Warm bike up(5 mile ride).
Clean around the suspicious area with brake clean,or similar stuff.
Pressurize the trans.case with an air gun,and don't forget to plug the vent.You may need to use a goodly amount of pressure,as some air will escape through the mainshaft.
Soapy water spray the area,if you can't see oil.
Do the same thing to the engine.
You may need another set of eyes to help.
You should be able to find your problem.

Too true John, practice makes it quicker. First time I had to have spent close to four hours from beginning to end. Last time was 45 minutes down and just slightly longer back together. That's not practice I really wanted though
.
Had wondered about pressurizing the tank but hadn't given it much thought. The idea came more from the notion that the leak is worse after 10 minutes on the highway than it is after ten minutes putting around town. All the vent lines are clear though (have checked) and the vent of the heads actually goes to atmosphere. All open and clear. And it's never puked out the dipstick.
I'll take the other pan and see where the oil level is inside of it when 3 or a bit more quarts are poured in. Then will look more at pressurizing looking for signs of some kind of passage. Thanks for helping to clarify the idea.
