Oil leak when running from around distributer; help ID

[kooshball]

I am having trouble getting my head and my camera down behind the motor near the distributor to try and figure out where my oil leak is likely coming from. It only leaks when the engine is warm and / or running. Any ideas from these photos where to look and / or what to expect?

Pics ain't loading for me but only 4 possibilities mostly. Valve cover gasket, intake gasket(the China wall of rtv), oil pressure sensor and or mount, and the distributor gasket.

I'd be guessing the oil pressure as @magimerlin said. The other 3 can occur just my guess. From the pics I see I dnt see and oil coming out from the distributor

Thx folks. But what is the China wall?

 

[GarrettGmc]

He's referring to the intake manifold to engine block seal. When replacing the intake manifold with new gaskets they are only on the sides of the intake so the front and rear are sealed only by rtv. Idk who started calling those rtv portions the china wall, so took me a sec until I realized what they were talking abt.

Disconnect the connector for oil pressure switch and see if it's full of oil
wash engine and try and locate leak
