OP, did you ever find the source?

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

Check your mechanical vacuum pump o-ring mounts to right front upper timing cover #2 upper timing cover #3 vanos solenoid valve o-rings.Look like its coming from up top and working its way down good luck

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.
