Glad you got it fixed.

I tightened the hold down bolt properly and got a new hold down (cheap and just in case). I had been way over tightening the bolt before. The leak is much smaller now and no more oil is pooling on the intake around the dizzy. No more oil is leaking at idle either, only on the throttle. I can kind of see where it's coming from with a mirror, I just can't tell if it's the sending unit or the intake seal just below it. I figured I'd do the sending unit first as it's easier and since it's plastic line is so fragile it would've been easy to break without noticing.
