1990 R129 M119 engine oil leak

Hi All, I need advice. Bought car two months ago with 139k. After getting home discovered serious oil leaks at front left head. Changed cam seal behind distributor to stop one leak. Second leak is around front of exhaust cam/cam timing sensor. Cannot pin point exact leak because only leaks when car is driven. Radiator fan blows leaking oil across front of head and onto intake. Large leak. Cleaned front of engine behind power steering reservoir, added oil and drove car. Pulled into my shop and removed distributor, plastic bracket and power steering reservoir and cannot tell exactly where oil is coming from. All advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Check hose clamp and hose at power steering reservoir.
