Default oil leak please help!

I tried everything other ls1tech members have said and nothing worked. I rebuilt the motor and i have a oil leak by the pan and block by the oil filter. i took out the tranny checked the rear main, galley plug oil sending unit everything and its all good. put it back together with all new oil pan gasket and rear cover gasket and its still leaking. Can i jb weld around it? im desperate and this is my only car.

Is it possible that the leak is on the fitting with the 2 bolts just above the oil filter?
Do you have another pair of eyes nearby to take a look at the leak?
