Engine Oil Leak?

[Stew Mc]

Hi all.

I have just done a fair bit of work to my old S and am now left with an engine oil leak from the O/S head, at the rear just above the oil filter.
I have changed the cam cover gaskets to no avail.
Me thinks the only other thing in this area is the head gasket, but before I order the parts, does anyone know of any other likely culprit for the leak?
Thanks,
Stew.

Are you sure the rocker box gaskets are seating properly ? The will no oil leaking from the head gasket .

I'd agree with Rower, double check the rocker cover gasket, the oil way through the head to feed the rockers is no where near where you appear to have a problem ?

Thanks chaps.
It appears dry around the cam cover but will double check it. I wondered where the oil feed was so if not in that area it may be leaking somewhere else.
Will clean it off again and have another look to confirm.
