Having read several threads a while back about using a rubber spark plug lead grommet to cure minor leaks from the top of the dipstick tube, I fitted one from an old NGK spark plug cap. It works a treat and fits perfectly over the dipstick and the tube.

"Yes done that for many years and it works..... unfortunately it does not stop all the other oil leaks in a twin cam"
haha true! start fixing leaks at the front of the engine and keep working towards the back of the gearbox. then repeat the process.
or buy lots of oil and put a big catch-tray in the garage under the car
