Default oil leak.....need help

the problem started a while ago when i had a oil leak from what seemed to be the oil pan gasket in the rear corner on the passenger side which sounded right with 120k on it.....so i took out the oil pan and replaced the gasket...the rear main was also replaced b4 this.....after i replaced the gasket, the oil continued to leak from the same exact spot.....it drips down the side of the oil pan and blows back on everything.....it is a pretty big leak too......is it possible the oil pan is warped or what?

Take your time, clean it up well and then find the leak - it's probably not the pan but more likely the valve covers, oil sender, etc.

Check your dipstick filler tube seal, mine was bad, it was leaking down running along the oilpan and dripping in the exact same spot.
