My bet is that there's something off in the alignment of oil return line flange and engine. In addition to the items Drew mentioned, check the flange on the return line: Is it flat, straight and true? There's some trick mechanics or machinists use to coat a surface and then rub it on a flat, smooth surface (i.e., pane of glass) to see if the surface is flat and true. There might be enough of a deformity in the flange that no gasket can seal it properly.
Gotta say that's one place the Stealthbomber hasn't leaked (yet).
Good luck.
