Default Oil leak on the 6.0L

I've had a small oil leak on the 6.0L ever since we dropped it in. I haven't had a lot of time to hunt the source.. Any input.. The leak is leaving a wet spot opposite corner from the oil filter. the rear of the oil pan on the passenger side. It's blowing back and coating the tranny pan. It's not dropping any on the street, so must be leaking under load only.

Any idea as to where it's coming from? We replaced all seals and gaskets when putting the engine and tranny back together.. I thought maybe the valve cover.. I don't know yet.. We're going to pull the engine in a month or so when the CNC LS6 heads go on, and just wanted to have some idea.. I had a Lingenfelter intake on the car, it simply wouldn't seal on the bottom, I've since replaced with the LS6 intake.

Thanks

did you line up the rear/front cover with the oil pan correvtly, it may "look" right but its gotta be perfect..
