Small Oil Leak

I found a small puddle of oil underneath the X near the front right engine. I've already replaced the valve covers, upper timing case and Vanos gaskets. The generator was replaced this past January and I have to assume they replaced the bracket gasket when they did that work. What else could it be? Oil Pressure Switch or Vacuum pump gaskets?

Would it be OK to take the reinforcement plate off and leave off, clean the area and drive around to locate the leak?
