there is RTV sealant used on two halves of the block in the spot you are describing. Never heard of one leaking there though. How many miles?

You have 2 places where it can be leaking there.
Oil Pressure switch. Most likely!
Crank Sensor.

I have my engine apart so their easy to get to from above but you would be better off pulling the starter.

If you wanted to put some black light engine oil dye in it and run it a while, it should show up quickly.
