Oil leaks

Right.. I know that the timing chain cover can be a source of some pretty decent leaking...
But what about the 3 bolts holding the upper engine stabilizer? (motor side) ...
On my engine it looks like oil is leaking out from them...

I would check the rocker cover gasket. If you still had the mechanical fuel pump, I would check the breather hole in the bottom of it.

Rocker cover looks fine... so does the "blind" where the fuel pump used to be.

And the gasket?

It really can't leak any oil out of those holes unless someone has drilled all the way through. Even then, I'd find it very odd, as the bolts plug the holes.
