I was kind of thinking valley cover, but it's clean all around front and sides where I can see. Thought maybe oil sending unit, but I can't see the damned thing.

For reference, the following have been done and recently, so I'm confident about them.
- Valve covers.
- Front main
- Oil pan seal
- Rear main (new clutch)
From what I experienced with oil leaks, when I had one from the top of the engine it was the valve cover on the passenger side, we replaced both, and a short while, maybe 4-5 months it started leaking again, come to find out the gasket got pinched because it didn't seat properly, fixed that and no more leak. The other place I have seen oil leaks from was the back side of the valley cover, and sending unit, but I never had those pop up yet.
