Well I looked into it today the only place I've come to it leaking from would be the fuel line going into the head.

My boss's 02 just had a leak in the valley and it turned out to be the line leading from the filter housing to the rear of the right head. The bracket that holds it in place had rubbed a hole in it. I silver soldered it for now but am ordering a replacement tor it.
