Small Oil leak

I have a very small oil leak on my 1977 Porsche 911s Targa. Any recommendation on how to fix this.

Thanks,

Sam

Check the chain cover nuts to see if they may have worked loose, or never properly torqued down. Just snug all them up, clean the area well and check after a couple days. I don’t have the torque spec.
Had same issue probably vibrated loose. So far no seepage.
Worse case is new gasket(s).

you can try to secure the nut but most likely you will have to replace the chain cover gaskets
