OIl Leak Identification

I have a decent sized leak that is depositing righ on to the driver's heat exchanger. 1st up, no digs about the but-tonne of grime; my bro (the po) wasn't super proactive about the leak or coniferous needles.

There seems to be oil colecting on the engine tin at the driver's back corner.

By the distributor looking down:



A bit more left:



from below dirver's side rear:



Nice and dry basically everywhere else. Thoughts?

Cam oil line is my first thought.
I'd suggest cleaning it up and then use a tracer dye or some blue carpenters line chalk to find the source. The chalk will stick to the wet oil and otherwise blow off.

That's a good suggestion as when I try an look a bit further behind the distributor I can see more oil. I'll have to take that and the air duct out of the way to get a better view but that seems to be the general origination point.
