Engine oil leak

Hi, 2001 car 1.6 engine with an engine oil leak which seems to be from the rear of the engine and from around the level of the cylinder head. Any ideas please?
Tony.

Cam angle sensor O-ring is usuall cause, can't remember the size but easy to get and change

2001 wont have cam angle sensor as in older mk1 cars so it is either head gasket leak ( unusual for mx5) or cam cover gasket possibly.
