Chasing that last little oil-leak

[garrett.fell]

So....

A couple months ago I replaced the valve cover gaskets and front timing cover gaskets on my BMW Valdez. The oil leaking problem has nearly been eliminated - however I am seeing just a little bit of fresh-oil hanging from the bottom of the tension-strut bushing on the drivers side.

It's not obvious where the source of this leak is. It's very slight. The top of the bushing seems relatively dry. The only thing I can think of - is what I think may be the "engine oil cooler pipe" and some of its associated joints? I don't think it's the alternator bracket.

I just cleaned the area up again - so might get a clue where it's coming from. It's defiantly not red-ATF although it looks like some lines that run from the PS reservoir are a bit moist

Has anyone else had similar problems? It's just not obvious where it's coming from above. Pics.
