Oil leak

My motor has developed a small leak. After driving for a bit a small amount appears inside the cooling fan housing and drips past the blades. Any thoughts on where the source may be i already replaced the seal on the MFi breather cover breather hose and thermostat o ring so the top looks dry (it was leaking a bit up top too) now. Thanks!

One area I would want to check is the air filter. Oil is known to pump up and onto the top side of the motor, via the air filter, if you overfill your oil.

...just a stab in the dark you never want to feel, but how about your pulley seal or, even worse, your no. 8 bearing???my seal was letting oil through and turned out the fan blew it all around...hope not but worth a peek...if the leak occurs while you are parked and comes down off your muffler, hmmmm..
