OP, did you ever find the source?

Nope, I did not get a chance to look at it much more since then...

Great suggestions. Thanks! Both solenoids on that side were covered with oil/grease/dirt on the outside. I pulled them both and they seemed ok on the inside, o-rings were ok. So I just cleaned them up when I was replacing the oil pressure switch and they stayed clean. I need to check the vacuum pump o-rings and the upper timing cover.
