Let me make that four --

>1) Pushrod tube O-rings
>2) Top cover gasket
>3) Oil cooler
>
4) valve cover gaskets

Next, one can find more difficult items to repair that are leaking, like 
cylinder base gaskets or block porosity, but otherwise do as Dale 
suggests -- take the lower shrouds off and see if you can see what's 
leaking.  You'll want to clean it up anyway, so if you can't figure it 
out, get it clean and then inspect, run, inspect, install shrouds, run, 
remove shrouds, inspect, etc.

Remember, oil flows the direction the wind blows and gravity pulls it, 
ie, down -- so look for the highest point that leaks.  There may be several.
