Good to hear, hopefully you got it fixed. If not, don’t be afraid to tighten it a bit more!

I agree with buoymaker, to clean the engine first then look for leaks. That leak you see at the bottom of the push rod cover could be from the valve cover. It appears in your second picture, that oil has been running down the side of the cover for some time. Clean it and then watch, you’ll find it.

The valve and pushrod covers are easy fixes, so those are the first ones I would go after.
