NIGHTHAWK answered this in another thread that got deleted because you double posted. Any who...

He recommended that you degrease the engine real good, let it dry and then start it up and see if you can see where the oil is coming from. it'* either coming from the front seal, the oil filter adapter palte area or a valve cover.
