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.

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
