Here's another possibly relevant thread: https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=103687

Looks like this guy had a bigger leak.

Sorry I can't be of more help, but the key is going to be identifying where it is coming/dripping from, if it is indeed an oil leak. In the video there's quite a bit of smoke, so I assume you should be able to see it dripping if it's an active leak.
No, you've been good help, I already picked up a couple of things from our convo already. Thanks again, always enjoy learning more. Looks like identifying the source itself could be tricky depending on the leak, but worth a try.
