three likely sources up front - cam seal, crank seal, and the oil temp
sender, which is what that wire goes to.  There are others, but less
common (oil pump gasket, pan gasket, basically)

I know it's a pain, but if you can get under there and clean up as much
of the mess as you can, you might be able to locate the source a bit
easier.  Those oil temp senders are prone to leaking, btw.
