oil leak

Hi,
I have had a steady but slow oil leak for a few months now.
1984 900 S, 206K miles, runs perfectly. Only loses oil due to drip, not burning. Loses no water, power steering fluid, gear box, etc. Still gets close to 30 mpg highway.
Anyway, seems to be coming from the right rear of engine, mostly. Might be around filter??? Puddle forms on frame under filter. I've been putting cardboard under car to catch drips and they are scattered on right side, but concentrated around filter.
It smokes a little from the engine (leaking oil burning on block) after hard driving for 30 miles or more. Only add half quart every couple hundred miles, due to drip, not burning oil.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!
