The picture on the right .....Upper left just to the right of the bolt head,,, Hard to tell from the picture is that a crack..??....

Check above the starter. I do not think the start bolts would have anything to do with an oil leak. But oil leaking from above will collect in that area - been there

Have you messed with the oil pressure sensor that is above the starter? It's hard to see unless you remove the intake. I had a very slight leak after moving my dummy sensor and putting an oil sensor for a real gauge in place. The adapter used wasn't tightened enough and caused a leak.
I blame being in a hurry and sticking with that story! I was definitely not getting forgetful or anything like that...

Ask me about why you should always use a torque wrench set for the correct tightness..

The sensor on the right is a Knock sensor - No Oil from there.
On the Left now that one can leak

I bought the paper mnaul from Poalris and also got one from EBay.

Both of these above can allow a slow oil leak...
Inspect the engine for mechanical damage. Special interest should be shown to the following areas:

• Improperly tightened or damaged fasteners
• Cracked or porous components
• Improper sealants or gaskets where required
• Improper sealant or gasket installation
• Damaged or worn gaskets or seals
• Damaged or worn sealing surfaces
