Tips for tracing oil leak source ? (and I "re-upped")

1999 2.3lpt SE w. 207K miles now. Have oil on upper block RH (passenger) side and rear of engine. Oil pressure switch area is dry, and oil is present all the way up to the top of head at sealing surface to valve cover. Tips on cleaning / identifying leaks? It's awkward to access and see with the yoke for the motor mount in place.
Although I hope it is only the valve cover gasket, that is fairly fresh (under a year). I suspect the PCV system (had PCV6 ever since I've owned it). Last 'main' check valve replaced about 30K ago. I have new parts for PCV, but I need to wait for daughter to let me access the car when I have the time.
Oil could be coming from the TC cover and/or head gasket, but there's no coolant leak, no mixing of fluid, and compression is okay.
Thanks in advance for advice on how to check source of leak w/o taking off the engine mount multiple times.

P.S. just added a 2005 Arc sedan to our household . . . very well maintained, and should have a lot of life in it.
