Turns out it's the Moroso pan that was leaking! The washer for the drain plug doesn't sit flush against the opening so I have to use nylon washers every time I change the oil and the oil level sensor plug had to be filed down cause that was leaking as well.
Now I have one last leak and that's in the front between the gasket and the pan.
Starting to think this Moroso pan was made in China with all it's issues.

Honestly, in the largest majority of builds, the stock oilpan is more than sufficient if you add a bolt-on windage tray (preferably a diamond stripper tray).
You really have some serious criteria to justify a lot of the aftermarket pans (such as road racing as the primary reason for the buildup in the first place).
It certainly usually won't hurt to run an aftermarket pan, but I highly doubt a lot of people can point at thier stock oil pan and blame it for an oiling issue.
It wouldn't be so bad, but how the hell do they justify the cost for the pans that are out there. These are not one-off specific application pans, but mass produced common-application pans. Then to run into issues that a lot of people do, doesn't justify the high cost.

I'd say standard for any aftermarket part. Seem like most companies use us as their R&D. I've seen it in AFR Aluminum heads, Wilwood brakes and all kinds of camshafts that one would think should be perfect.
