RE: engine loosing very little oil right handside front end
ORIGINAL: CRZYCANUK
WITH OUT SEEING IT MYSELF IT COULD BE:
A: VALVE COVER GASKET
B: TIMING CHAIN TENSTIONER GASKET
C:HEAD GASKET
THE FIRST 2 ARE RELETAVLY CHEAP FIXES THE LAST ON IS A LITTLE COSTLY.

Bought and replaced the complete Valve (Cam) Cover Gasket kit and solved the problem rather easily. It seems in the older Cars the gasket becomes hardened and very brittle until it breaks and begins to leak profusely. A simple job that took me about 45 minutes.
The next issue to arise is the PCV Breather hose that is connected to the Valve Cover, it also gets old and brittle, making it impossible to re-use after the connection crumbled away upon removal of the hose clamp keeping it in place.
I used a pvc "L" connector and a short piece of hose for a temporary fix.
Good Luck
