Not coming from the quill...but rather from that fastener just beneath...

Time for new gasket?...cant remember if timing cover gasket has a hole in that location...or is that something else?...

I think you need a copper washer. Once you get a new washer installed, tighten the Quill bolt but don't twist it off!

See this thread:

If on the otherhand, it is indeed from the timing case screw, Nfieldgear has small fiber washers that fit around that timing case screw.  Or you could fashion a small washer by youself using gasket material from an auto parts/spares establishment.
