103/124 oil leak

Yes, I have read all the previous material posted on this subject and it's great stuff.

But here is my question. I have seen it said that the top timing cover leak is typically a "seeping" sort of leak; not really a dripping sort of leak. Also, most of the pics I've seen show the leak on the right (exhaust manifold) side.

Mine engine leaks down on top of the AC compressor and from there, to the driveway. At first I thought it was PS fluid, but it is in fact motor oil. Probably fifteen drops or so hit the driveway overnight. Pretty significant leak.

Is this leak likely to be the infamous U-Gasket? One person posted that his leak was fixed by tightening a bolt. Wonder what bolt that might have been?

Anyway, opinions?

Thanks
