83 SC Oil on the Hard-line -- source?

In my 83 SC, the "hard-line" as shown in the pic below, is covered with oil and grease/dirt.

I'm trying to determine the source of the oil leak that is dripping down on to this line.

Does anyone know what parts/lines are above this hard line that can be a source of leak?

Thanks!

I don't thing you question is clear. Its the leak where you have it circled? If so then the cam box is above it and it can leak.

My bad on the confusion in the pix.

IGNORE THE CIRCLES.

What I'm referencing to in the pix is the hard line (arrow). I see that it is covered with oil/dust/grease.

So, I'm asking for help on diagnosing the culprit. What parts/systems lie above (into the picture) this line that may have oil leaking/dripping down a this pipe?

Hope this is clearer.

Thanks!

Right above the arrow is were the main seal and IMS cover are. You have to pull the motor to get to either.
