I'll try re-torqueing the cylinder head bolts in the morning :)

Thanks :)

Hmm.. Couldn't see anything in the pics, but I would check the area
at the front of the motor under the valve cover where the cylinder
head meets the engine block and see if THAT is where it is leaking.
I had a leak in the same spot on the other side of the engine (rear
by the heat shield and engine speed/rpm sensors). Taken care of by re-
torqueing cylinder head bolts.
