Cleaned engine, could not see an apparent leak. Decided to properly torque the oil filter (20 FT LBS) . No leak now!

 Subject: strange oil leak
   
 My '69 Fitch has an oil leak on top of the right shroud. This is just below the coil. I've never experienced oil leaking there, as there is little to leak. Anybody have a clue? I'm thinking the distributor may be pumping oil up the shaft and then leaking, but it is a lot of oil for that odd problem.
