I had a primary leak on my 11 and it was the rubber seal where the wires exit to the voltage regulator. I cleaned it well with brake clean and sealed it with black silicone sealer. Never leaked a drop again in over 10K miles.

Lots of great advice / experience provided, that has saved me days of searching, many thanks everyone. So far so good no more leaking. If I take it to the shop I'll let you know what was found. May as well add to the experience data provided here.

Regardless enjoying this machine. Significantly more advanced machine than my old 77 superglide. When it leaked a bit you knew you were ok because it still had oil in it!
