Wayne - you are a star !
I got lucky and think that I have found it.
Started by removing the center tappet side cover.
Just like your experience - mine is below the center cover mounting boss;
there is a ridge there just above the distributor drive.
Was this where the one you worked on was ?
Actually looks someone tried to repair it before. Have no idea what they
used, but is a soft white putty like substance and the oozing got worse
when I removed it. Had the coolant under pressure.
So now have to clean up and think about a repair technique.
Thank you for responding .

Wayne,
Thank you. That sounds very similar to my situation. Not quite sure that I
understand what you mean by the boss that goes down to the sump ? Is this
the oil return path - interesting. Yes, my plan is to get the pan off and
pressurize the coolant with some dye in it and hopefully locate it.
So your repair was done with the tappet side covers off ? Maybe that is a
block weakness and I get lucky with a similar fault.
