Remember it a holiday week not a lot of people online.

Can you be more specific as to where it's leaking from ?
Left, right, top, bottom or middle.

Might be a fuel leak, clean you engine the best you can and try to pin point exactly where its coming from. Also look at the oil gallery plugs they tend to leak there's two on each head, check the one behind the ac compressor ( they have a 1/2" drive)

Jim,

Have you checked the o-ring on the cam position sensor? It can leak on the damper and spray oil everywhere. Just a thought. Stranger things have happened.
