Rear of the motor.... rear main possibly, that's no fun. But check the back of the valley cover (intake manifold) dissy where it fits into the block and of course the back of the tappet covers. Access to a car hoist really helps. What area do you live in?

Good advice
If oil is coming from high in the motor your in luck
In two piece rear min seals you can chance with crank in place
But not easy
It involves lowering th crank and rotating the top half seal
If its a rope seal crank out job

If he drops the inspection cover on the bell housing he'll soon know if it's the rear seal or not.
Always pays to give the motor a good clean when chasing oil leaks. Brake cleaner works a treat. Don't have to wash the motor with water and it drys really quickly. NOT to be done on a hot motor.

Cam.
The oil leak hits the top of the exhaust just in front of the driver ( note rod conversion), ill investigate and see what it looks like. There are few bits to fix and ill get to them soon.
Many thanks

Mate on some cars there is a oil line that comes from the Block just above he filter worth a look at if your engine has it

What area you live in Lefty? I only ask as I have a hoist that you are more than welcome to put your beast up on to have a look underneath, if you already don't have access to one.
The hoist is at Ingleburn.
