Can you identify a rough area it may be coming from i.e. front/rear/flywheel end/timing gear end?

 

I don't think there are any areas where it is 'weak' in terms of oil leaks. Places to watch for are the flywheel end crank seal (clutch off job), cam cover seal, oil pressure senders (front of block under intake mani), possibly the cambelt end crank seal (although I havent come across this before). Also the camshaft seals either end of the block (including the one behind the distributor cap.

 

Hope this gives you some leads!
