Hey David If the leak is in the front and not the side, my experience is that the cork gaskets on the bridging piece are leaking back through or between the front plate. I have fixed those by cutting the cork so it fits just right and then aviation gasket sealer all over the cork, or omitting the cork altogether and filling in the gap with orange silicone with pan off from the back side and inside the engine. I know it is risky having big chunks of silicone maybe coming lose, but the way the silicone keys itself into the bridging H piece it seems to work and that is after many years.
