Default how do i find the leak? clutch f**ked, oil everywhere

ive got my t56 out for a rebuild and the throwout bearing is cracked. advance wont replace a peice of my clutch kit, they want the entire kit back in exchange for a new one. anyway, on to the point of this. the side of the clutch meeting the flywheel is soaked in oil. oil is all on engine side of the mid plate. anyone have ideas where its coming from? or how i could find the leak?

when you find it let me know. I've been through 2 clutch discs, new oil pan gasket, rear main seal and this things still leaking on me.

Colt - you may have a leaking rear main, or a leaking OPSU.
Collier - you probably have a leaking OPSU.

The OPSU is at the back of the block between the intake and the firewall, kinda towards the drivers side.

this might be a really dumb question, but when i did my intake swap i put a new opsu in. was i suppose to put anything on the threads or just tighten it down dry and haul ***?
