Just got my 71 SSP out today and drove it around. When I came home I checked under the hood and there was a spray of oil on passenger side above valve cover. Didn't see much else although it's original motor so it's not cleaned up yet. Looked like possibly wet where valve cover and intake meet near carb. Any suggestions?
Oh, and oil level wasn't low so can't be leaking too badly.
 
Clean it up real good, maybe use spray can parts cleaner, so you can see where it gets wet. Might just be the valve cover gasket.
