The oil pressure take off is on the right side of the engine Bob. My guess
would be the tachometer drive, the seal on the shaft hardens and cracks (
probably only about 70 years old, they don't make them to last) or the
tappet cover. I  have found that the tappet cover screws need to be gently
retightened af a few hours of operation. On the 100S they were all lock
wired which tells you something!!

Ah, yeah, now I remember having to route the OP line across the scuttle. 
But, the tach drive is off the distributor, on the R/H side, no? I 
replaced the seal when we rebuilt the engine.

Tappet cover, IIRC, is on the L/H side; that was my first guess since 
the oil isn't contaminated (until it hits the pavement). I didn't learn 
until after the rebuild that one of the tappet cover screws has to be 
shorter, lest one of the tappets hit it; always wondered if I did that 
right or not.

No, on the BN2 the tach drive is a skew gearbox taken from the top of the
oil pump shaft. Very conveniently pasitioned under the exhaust manifold.
Bit of a pain to remove because a couple of the tappet cover screws are in
the way. The tach drive is on the distributor of the 6 cylinder engines,
much more conveniently located.

OK, now I remember (I get my Healey engines mixed-up sometimes). I 
replaced the tach drive cable and it was a PITA; I think it's a good 
candidate for the leak as it seems to be coming from that area. I'm 
gonna pull the carbs and manifolds and install your PCV kit after I get 
the grill back in the BJ8 (just installed a DWM steering shaft).

Thanks,
Bob

Having just this week replaced the tach cable on my 100 I can attest that
it is on the left side of the engine.  While it might be possible to attack
it from above in most cars the CAB on my LeMans precluded that but It is
fairly easy to get at from underneath.

 Is the tach drive in a BN1 also on the driver's side (LHD car) on the side=
 of the block under the exhaust?

Ah, yeah, now I remember having to route the OP line across the scuttle. Bu=

The oil pressure take off is on the right side of the engine Bob. My guess =
