Help! Pretty bad oil leak 1980 spider

[MIGHTY 8]

Hello
Had the cambox housing gasket replaced on the exhaust side due to an oil leak. Drove home from shop and it's now a MAJOR mess!!
Will return to same repair shop and have it corrected, but any ideas what other area (exhaust side) to check for that may be common for oil leaks?
Thank you all.

Isn't there a head bolt or a header stud that can leak oil on the exhaust side?

Thanks guys!
The distributor, I sure tried looking pretty close, but as far as I could tell it's ok.
I tried using the search function on this board, because I do recall reading about that header bolt you mentioned. However, to no avail...
I do believe it's coming a lot from the rear of the engine, and also mid way just below the exhaust manifold.
I'll continue searching.
Thanks again

Sounds like a stud. "Mechanics" may have loosened the stud and removed it, then tried to replace it as if it were a bolt. It (or they if they screwed up more than one) needs to be removed and properly replaced. If not the stud then they installed the gasket wrong.

Headed there tomorrow to hopefully fix this issue.
Competent mechanic with several 124's of his own, reason I tend to use (and trust) his services.
Showed me the previous gasket where it was torn, leading us both to believe that should have resolved the initial leak.

Thanks again....
