Thanks for this, I'll take a look over the next week or so - just got back from vacation.
I did also notice some oil from the passenger side vacuum lines off the engine cover, so suspect you are correct in you diagnosis.
It did also just have the timing chain kit and valvetronic servo motor done, so i'm not sure if that had a factor in this as well. I will also mention this to the shop.
