Small Oil Leak - any suggestions from where?

I never realized that drain hole existed on our Rockets. Learned something again. Excellent call @R-III-R Turbo.

Next time I replace my VC gasket, I'm tempted to glue the thing down with dabs of cyanoacrylate super glue. These replacement gaskets seem to move too much.

If you look closely, there are small drain holes just above the (metal) head gasket., on the bottom left side edge of the head. These are moisture drains from the spark plug towers. The oil might be weeping from there. If it is, the oil has to be getting out through the cam cover gasket on that spark plug tower.

If the head gasket was leaking it would be coolant not oil.
