late to the party, i was gonna say cam covers. but it all looks really old. i'd clean and re-inspect later

Gun to my head, I would guess the o-ring sealing the OCV solenoid. The solenoid itself looks ok. I would suspect messy oil change but there's a huge clean zone above the solenoid.

Is that meaning to clean it and drive to see if it comes back? Or something else?

My garage floor was dirt so the oil went back into the ground where it came from. Plus, oil was cheap back then ($0.22 per quart).

Iffen ya wanted to, you could put a pan under the oil drip to collect the oil to soak the cattails to be used as torches for when you went coon hunting.

(picture included so as the city slickers didn't think we cut the tails off cats to use as torches -

Don't have to worry about a bad engine to frame ground.

Yeah. Hard to tell what’s really going on with that much of a mess.
