Make sure its not spilled oil from pouring into oil cap If not, left side would be dizzy seal or cam cap end sealamajiggy. If you wanna dot your i's & cross your t's, just get a new upper gasket set. Not that bad of a installs, VC gastket, spark plug orings, dizzy seal, cam cap seal, cam gears seals....should be good.
