oil leak after cam swap :( ok i just got done with cam swap and now have oil leak. its not the front main seal/timing cover. its dripping around the oil filter, iwent back and re-tightend all the bolts around the pan and still a small leak. ive searched countless threds on it, is it possible for the dipstick to cause the leak being that i didnt bolt it back 2 the side of the block? its not a bad leak but its irking me being that it didnt leak b4 the cam swap. any help/opinions would be greatly appreciated.

double check the oil filter/put a new one on. You could have slightly installed it crooked or the gasket on it mite not have sealed properly and that would explain why its leaking from that area.
