Many places, best on a ramp running so oil can be seen running down; that said, front cam seals, access seal to the piston......for starters.

Yes you do,the belt has to come off,and camshaft wheels too.
Could be a possibility of a warped rocker cover causing the leek.

Had a similar problem on my car,but never got round to fixing it,some have suggested that the smoke from the oil could cause MAF failure.
