When there is a leak that is hard to find the location of we use an  
additive in the oil that will turn the oil bright yellow under ultra  
violet light. It is available in most auto parts stores. This way you  
don't waist good time and money repairing leaks that dont exist. The  
most common leaks on that side of the motor are. Tach drive, fuel  
pump plate warped, valve cover. I also have had a couple that the  
engine plate was warped and leaking.

So go get a leak detector and find it the first time.
