I guess I'm trying to say that you should have a good look elsewhere for the source of the oil.
Thanks for the reply. I've got it jacked higher now (with safety stands), so I can run the engine and check the places you mentioned. I don't see the small plate you mentioned. Is it behind the A/C pulley?

The valve cover gaskets are new and breathers just re-sealed with no leaks. It'd doesn't seem to be power steering fluid, but I'll re-check that.
