have you cleaned everything and made sure thats where its coming from? If it is coming from there do you lube the oil filter gasket before you install it?
It also could be coming from the main seal.....i think that's where mine was coming from. I used some high mileage oil from castrol and it did help.....i know...quick fix but no use in crying over spilled oil.....right?

try the castrol oil. 75000 high mileage. Its just as the car get on in mile the parts wear.....gaps become bigger and things don't seal as well. The castrol oil helps to "swell" the gaskets making a better seal. Since i have done that it has not leaked.

I wouls suggest that next time you are under the car fee around the back and side of the block for oil. My guess is that it may be coming from the presure sending unit.

Mine was leaking from around the oil pan on the passenger side w/ only 7800 miles on it. Snugged up the pan bolts and leak was gone.
