Now I thought I had found the Leak as the top of breather where it goes in to side near rocker cover was caked in oil as was the whole side of block. Jet washed it down and cleaned it all up. days later still clean.
After looking again underneath looks like its the bottom hose coming out of Breather in Pic, could be the Culprit, Will try and get another hose on this weekend, I did order O Ring for the Breather so might as well take it off and give it a good clean while Im on.
Is this a Common place where they leak, or could it be coming from somewhere else ??

If the breather is blocked then yes the sump compression would try to breathe anywhere it could including oil seals so definitely check the breather,
 
Will Take Breather and hoses off and clean, then see if it still leaks. That hose looks really hard to get to where it joins engine at bottom,
 
Just another Query that's bugging me, please forgive me there's probably a simple answer to this, But once Ive sorted leak, Im gonna change all filters and oil.
My query is why is there 2 different sump plug washers in the filter kits ? Do you use both of them.
Thanks

Nope, you only need one not both
