Any ideas where the oil would be coming from if it gathers where pictured? It's just below the carbs on the side of the block, it's a dolomite sprint engine....

It means taking the water pump out, so yeah, pretty unpleasant, do able at home, but no fun! There is an instruction thread on here somewhere.
