The oil leak is coming from the area around the block plate for the remote cooler, but I'm having trouble finding it. It's puking a couple of tablespoons of oil each time I start it.

Congratulation on the twins, they'll keep you busy.
My Kirkham was only delivered in January this year. KMS now produce a billet block adapter for the remote filter and oil cooler, which has a rubber o-ring seal rather than a normal gasket.
My oil leak is really a very slight "weep", but it is coming from somewhere around the back of the block and I suspect it's the rear crank seal.
I'll see how it goes.
