Oil leak from fill tube?

I painted my vavle covers red a few months back when I put in 1.6RR.I have been leaving oil trails every where I go,underside of the car is covered in a light film and you can see drips on the dust cover of the trans. I replaced my rearmain when I had my trans out about 7 months ago.I took the trans out again(needs rebuilt agian)and its clean as can bee behind the flywheel and everything inside the dust cover is clean.I noticed a little oil running down the back side of the vavle cover the gasket is on right and snugged down. Do you guys think this much oil can come from the fill tube?I can see where it was running out but never looked bad. Oh and the back of the intake looks dryer than the rest so I dont think its the famous intake leak.So I guss my simple ?'s is can that much oil leak out from there. If so great I will get a new gasket for it. If not wheres it coming from Thanks Sean
