Answer
Hi Cam -

Have you checked the camseals? The timing cover needs to be removed to check these. When this leaks it travels inside of the timing cover and comes out at the bottom, near the oil pan gasket, so it seems sometimes that the leak is coming from the oil pan (sump) area).

Don't forget to check obvious things such as the oil sending unit and the valve cover gasket.

Hope this helps -
