Thanks for the ideas... I've been experimenting by turning lights on and off and making other adjustments - with some weird results.

Like renderer said, it was a light from the left of the object. All objects (including the head) are set to cast shadows.

What made a difference was when I set the light to the left to cast a shadow and intensified the shadow to nearly 100% -the "light leak" disappeared.

I know it is "unnatural" to have lights without shadows, but I think an overabundance of criss-crossing shadows is distracting. Can't figure why a light casting a shadow would make a difference when the objects are all set up to cast shadows... strange.
