Any chance you can gently bend the metal protection plate downward or away
from the pushrod tubes and see whether the oil is possibly dripping out from
the oil sensor plug?  This oil sensor can provide a pretty healthy source of
oil if leaking - it is also a very cheap and easy repair.

Cross your fingers.
