Could be a dozen different places . Clean engine thoroughly , ride slow for a few miles . May be easier to narrow down where your loosing oil .

As already said it could be from a dozen places. Let engine idle until hot and have a good look around, favourite places are between cylinders 2 and 3 and also from cylinder head nuts with o-rings on. Jonboy
