If it was mine I would live with it or if the engine had a few miles on it, chuck a oil treatment seal sweller in with an oil change.
   
  Take the oil cap off slightly (to remove seal) and see if a lot of oily smoke comes out. This would show the engine crankcase was getting pressurised...
   
  You could be lucky and it was coming from a core plug (but I don't know where they are without the diagram).
   
  Engine would be a variant of the Volvo 260 Estate B28F engine.
  (Same is B28E engine apart from piston crowns as far as we could tell)
   
  Why not get the engine steam cleaned first then try and back trace it from there?

old ground. 
What is the engine exactly in the DeLorean, a B..... some thing and 
are a lot of the parts interchangeable between the diferent B.... & 
B.... engines. I'm thinking gasket's, blocks, Etc, Etc.
Thanks

No, I have not got to the bottom of the oil leak yet, am still 
reluctant to think it's the block as it only weep's very slowly. Just 
trying to arm myself with as much info as posible before delving in 
there. :-)
