Oil seems to be collecting in the area of the crank sensor/dipstick tube. It's coming from somewhere above there. Pan bolts are tight, no leak from oprv cover. Front of oil pan is dry. Cam cover is dry. Front seal area is dry.
Any ideas? Thanks.

If it's coming from above the crank sensor, it may be the center exhaust manifold stud. If oil in that area, remove stud, clean & apply hi-temp silicone to threads, reinstall.
