Default Oil Leak

Just replaced rear main seal and valve cover seals on 96 firebird ws6. I still have one more leak, but I cannot find it. I can hear it dropping off the back of the engine onto the exhaust and when I drive it for long periods of time I can actually smell oil burning on the exhaust as well as smoke from burnt oil coming up from the center console, I don't have a boot on the shifter right now. I know it is not the flywheel or clutch burning because I just put brand new ones in, nothing was resurfaced and both have been broken in meticulously. Any help would be much appreciated, thankyou.

Bet it's from the back end of the intake.

is there anyway to narrow down these without starting the engine for too long?
