Oil leak

Posting this for a friend who has an oil leak somewhere on top. Its filling the valley up and seems to be coming from the front. I'm positive its oil and not fuel, I just did my fuel pump so that was first thing I thought. Could it be coming from gasket under hpop? Thats the only place that you can see maybe a small sign of before its everywhere. Its not bad enough for galley plug, at least I don't think so. All lines and connections seem ok. It is a rebuilt engine, I think he said Jasper if that makes a difference. I tried searching but everything turned into fuel topic and I don't think its coming from turbo.
Thanks.

HPOP Gasket, IPR o-rings, HPOP feed lines, oil gallery plugs on inside of head (nick in o-ring) ICP fitting. Just a few off of the top of my head. To find it, clean the area, degrease it, let it dry, then run the engine while looking at the area with a flashlight until you see the oil start showing up.
