probably your cam plug/seal (not sure exactly what its called). I replaced my solenoid gasket and it didnt stop then when out and bought one of the goldeneagle cam plugs and it fixed the problem.
Its hard to tell where it is coming from, mine was puddling up at the base of the head under the solenoid.
