check the oil cooler lines from the filter to the cooler under the left headlight. the lines have a flexible center and it's well known to leak. it is usually under pressure so somewhat difficult to see. you can put a piece of clean box thickness cardboard cut to fit between the lines down by the block. Drive around the block and check, you are looking for fresh oil on the side away from the block, meaning it's coming from the line(s). The cost for a set of lines, when available, last I looked was about $200. I took my to Hose Pros and then basically replaced the flexible portion and used my ends. Others have posted different methods using multible hose clamps and new flex line. I line the Hose Pros method as they braze fittings on the ends and everything is a tight fit. But I've never personally done the others and they may work just fine too.
But first you have to figure out if this *is* the source of the leak.
