I find the defintions from Wenlin easier to understand:
①have everything going one's way
②gain advantage from both sides

"slick operator who can derive benefit from any situation" is kind of a long winded definition
Diff:
- 左右逢源 左右逢源 [zuo3 you4 feng2 yuan2] /lit. to get water source from every side (idiom); slick operator who can derive benefit from any situation/
# + 左右逢源 左右逢源 [zuo3 you4 feng2 yuan2] /lit. to get water source from every side (idiom); have everything going one's way; gain advantage from both sides/
+ 左右逢源 左右逢源 [zuo3 you4 feng2 yuan2] /lit. to strike water right and left (idiom)/fig. to turn everything into gold/to have everything going one's way/to benefit from both sides/
