Oil splatter

I am getting a lot of oil splatter on the front facing one portion of my saddle bag. I cannot seem to locate any leaks anywhere. Are there gaskets that wear out that would cause this.

I think the next step is to clean it up good and then run it in the garage for a few minutes, with the door open, of course and inspect the engine while it is running.
A really bright light may help, as would a good pair of glasses if you are anywhere near my age.

Sometimes this is the result of a hose coming loose from the PCV loop.
Have a look in your air cleaner housing if you haven't already.
