I think my answer would be different depending on the situation. If I had been adopted, I think I would leave well enough alone - I know who my Parents are. They're the people who raised me and shaped my personality.
But the situation you describe is somewhat different. What would you hope to accomplish by finding him? Do you just want to see what he's like? Ask him why he left? Establish some kind of relationship with him? Are you prepared for whatever you might find? He might be an asshole, mentally ill, dead, have another family, etc. I'd think hard about what you want to get out of this, and be sure that you're prepared for anything, before you go looking.
