Keith, nothing personal, but how much do you weigh? And can you confirm that you have original length shocks?
While driving, your shaft housing should be angled down and to the rear. Too much load or short shocks means the angle is down toward the front and oil can then migrate and hang forward.

Was a pleasannt surprise as I expected the left side be be lower. I feel much better now knowing the compression is in a good range. Will see how she runs once I replace the distributor springs. Will head out to the garage and start disassembly of the rear drive to check if it is installed correctly. Spoke with Mark E this morn and the Ambo pinion may not have the flat spots on it as described in Guzziology. Thanx to Paul Linn for the pix, I now know what to look for, but in the few rear drives Mark checked in his shop, none of them had the flat spots on the pinion nor on the rear drive assy, so I may be checking for nothing. Will replace the gaskets though when reassembling. Gotta figure out why my Ambo is heavily migrating gear oil to the driveshaft boot then pissing out all over the muffler and tire.
