Did you check the exhaust manifold studs? The one that is second, moving from the firewall towards the front, is one of the classic oil leaks. Tap your fingertip underneath the end and see if it comes up oily. If so, double-nut, remove, high-temp sealant, replace.

So far it's been behaving...Rtv on the dipstick tube solved that for now, and otherwise it seems like its drying out. Might actually hold oil for a spell...
