since it seems that you covered the major areas, have you checked the oil filter and gasket. the reason i ask is that one time the gasket off of the old oil filter stuck to the block and i put the new filter on (with the new gasket) and it leaked. i took it off and saw the two gaskets, peeled the one that was on there previously off and no leak.

have you been torqueing everything to specs?

its a long shot, but may be worth checking out.

the oil filter is on the drivers side, the oil leak is coming from the pass side. ya i torqued to specs, and evrn let it set a day after each gasket i replaced and used rtv with
