Been chasing some oil leaks on a C-90-14FJ powered Clipped Wing Cub.

Attached is a not so good picture, trying to show my issue this time.

The leak has 3-4 trails of oil after flight, and they all begin at the same "Station" shall we say on the aircraft, right underneath the oil tank.

Even with in-flight circulation in the engine compartment, it's always in that spot, but maybe it's not happening until engine shutdown.

I think the leak is emanating from the bottom or the seam of the oil tank.
Any thoughts or suggested fixes?
Welding it maybe, replacing it, etc. ?

Thanks in advance.
