I had a similar leak on mine. It stopped when I did the head gaskets. I think it was coming from the valley pan gasket.

Clean everything up before you go to blue devil

Shut down leave it for 30 minutes or so
Now see where the oil is.

I did all of the above and let it idle for 1hr. Checked it a couple times over the course of an hour. No drips. I’m hoping tightening the valve cover fixed it for now. I looked up in the inspection hole and it seems dry up in the bell housing. Hoping it was just blow back
