Hi Fereday,
If its leaking around the centre rocker cover holding down nuts, I use a close fitting Dowty seal under the nut with a bit of Hylomar or a domed nut. If its the rocker cover joint I use this sheet gasket and cut my own :

Check that the forks are not leaking, I had this once before, where I was trying to cure a leak on the head, turned out the fork seal was leaking and blowing the oil back onto the head and rocker box. Hth
