If you want to be sure before you start tearing things apart, go to Autozone or somewhere similar and buy the fluorescent dye tracer kit. They're cheap. Pour some dye into the oil and drive the car a couple of hundred miles and then, using the magic flashlight and glasses, you'll easily find the leak. Tip: before you do this, high pressure or chemically clean the front of the engine so it's easy to find the source of the leak.

I have a similar oil leak. Seems to magically appear on the bolt heads that hold the balance shaft on the pass side, behind and below the oil filter. I do not think it's from the oil cooler or from the OPRV. I keep cleaning it up and looking again but it's just on about 3 or 4 bolt heads?
It's right behind the oil press sender so maybe that's it. May have to change it out and see. Thanks loony.
