Just fitted new rocker box gasket n half-moons,hopefully thats the leak cured.If not,it looks like the rear crankshaft seal will be getting a visit....

I just changed rocker gasket and half moons and the leak has stopped. If the leak is up high (top of head) you should have got it. If it's down low then probably the crank shaft seal.

I would suggest cleaning all the oil leak leak away and jetwash the engine and gearbox area and keeping a check. Dont want to be pulling the gearbox out for an oil leak thats higher up.
