If you're sure it's not coming from the rear cylinder base gasket...then
My first guess would be the primary vent. Second would be oil coming from your head vents.

As I said on the other forum you posted about this, it's hard to tell from this pic.
My first suspicion was the rear cylinder base basket as it appears that there may be oil where the arrow is pointing in the pic below. While wind can blow oil around, it doesn't normally tend to flow uphill. If the vertical surface where the arrow points is wet, that's likely the base gasket. If not, then you're likely back to the tranny breather hose or possibly the starter gasket but that's a rare problem.
You don't have any oil dripping from the bottom of the air cleaner or push rod tubes do you?
