Default Best way to locate a front oil leak on a YB 4x4

Very minor oil leak is now corrupting the cam belt

No leaks on the floor where the cars parked and only a slight misting via top of the head behind the top pullys..

the last leak was the crank shaft oil seal.which tbh has all the signs of this problem again

ive got the new belt and tensioner just need to know what seals to buy for the fucker again

tabitha advised to get the viton seals for the crank..as they where better quality

but only standard ford seals where fitted for the price of the job iirc

i am Not happy if its the same problem again for the price of a refit of a shonky £10 seal

regarding what the company charged me for the job £££

thats why i want to locate the leak is
