Could you have a crack in to mount that is releasing oil?

Hello,
I have the engine rebuilt and back in my PA2108. I am generally
pleased with it but the generator vibrates relative to the block
despite my careful alignment. You have to look closely to see it. Is
that normal? After a few hours of running, it has developed an oil
leak at the back side of the generator just above the front gearbox.
The four bolts are tight and I worked to get a good seal from
generator to the gearbox. Could this leak be a result of the
vibration? (I put in 10W40 oil in January when I first started it and
plan to change to 20W50.)
The engine and generator seemed to work well together when I got the
car and I changed little from that set-up. I put about 1500 miles on
it. (I threw a rod three years ago.)
I plan to pull the head and generator and re-check everything. Nearly
every other step has had to be redone so far! I am not happy with the
valve stem sealing in the head anyway.
Advice much appreciated.
