Still leaking oil

The car is running again, no major problems. But the initial reason why I ripped out the dist.(besides the re-build) was not solved. The O-RIng in the dist was not the problem and I'm still leaking a good amount of oil from the front of my oil pan case. I can't tell if its a seal just from visual inspection due to a cross member blocking the top part of the case, and from a hood view there doesn't seem to be any visual leaks. Any suggestions?

SO SIMPLE
Solve it by inserting the 3.4 mill ya scored!
Serious, stop wasting time chasing a dead ghost.
Serious, the "leak" will be fixed upon the effort laid upon new donor engine. That's why I suggest ya take time with reassembly. To prevent those leaks appearing in future. I have a "few leaks" but with lessons learned from the intial swap, I can control them.
Keep adding oil easier to fix the leak that way.

I agree, but, i grow weary of the puddles of oil in my driveway now I have requested the time off, and the date is set. So soon, yet so far, the questions will soon be rolling in.
