The oil pressure take off is on the right side of the engine Bob. My guess
would be the tachometer drive, the seal on the shaft hardens and cracks (
probably only about 70 years old, they don't make them to last) or the
tappet cover. I  have found that the tappet cover screws need to be gently
retightened af a few hours of operation. On the 100S they were all lock
wired which tells you something!!
