I changed the engine oil recently and noticed that the engine case was "wet" above and around the nut for the clutch actuator (to the left of the engine oil drain plug).

What to do to trouble shoot and repair?
 
Not a 100% sure where it is on the Guzzi but Aprilia's have the same system and they come off easily and can be bled/refilled easily as well. Just an assembly (85220R Clutch command cylinder). Either the gasket ring is leaking or one of the three bolts are not tight, if it is not the fitting on the lines from the clutch lever.
 
Thought I would follow up on my original post. When I got ready to go for a ride to visit a friend in Montgomery, AL last fall i did an engine oil change. I didn't have a new OEM type fiber crush washer for the drain plug, so I used a brass one that I had in my misc. parts box. It worked! Or so I thought. Seems that it wasn't working so well. As part of some PM I did over the winter, I drained the oil again and put the plug back in again, this time with an OEM spec fiber crush washer. Went for a 50 mile ride and no leak, no oil on the back of the engine. :party:

Moral to this story: Use the right parts.
