Would appear IMG was culprit, not always easy to see leak as evaporates, and not best of places to see stains if any were there.
Gasket low cost from Europarts (and others) and fitted in less than an hour, good sense to start low cost items and work up.

Yes, some evaporate, and some might leak to the combustion chambers and is, largely, "burnt" off. If not, can be seen as vapor/mayonnaise on the inside of the oil filler cap on a warm/hot engine.
