There are 2 allen screws behind the cam wheels (one behind each) and they have a small O ring which fails. This might be a good place to look as it often gives the impression it is coming from somewhere else i.e cam seals. I believe the oil is under pressure as it is a main oil gallery. It was spraying on to the cam belt on mine and then going everywhere
