Need some help tracking down my oil leak. I have oil all over the passenger side tin on the top, doesn't appear to be coming from breathers or oil fill tank, it's a complete mess with oil even on the firewall. I have ran it after cleaning and can't track down any leak, however after driving a short distance the tin is covered with oil even tracing the rear glass. So where in the heck could it be coming from? Oil cooler doesn't seem to be wet. Any help would be great

Year, engine size, and fuel delivery system might make a big difference on this diagnosis. Please provide more info when asking these kind of questions. Now if it's a pre 75 look to the drivers side of the oil filler for a small round metal canister with tubes for 3 hoses to connect to. Two of the hoses go to a vent tube on each head. The third goes to a port on the air cleaner. If one of those hoses has came off it will dump a lot of oil.
