Default Anyone know all the places oil can leak from back of block?

I developed an oil leak at the back of the block and at first, I thought it was the oil pan gasket so I replaced the gasket and also checked the oil pan with a straight edge. It is still leaking but only when the car is on and motor revved.

Is there anything on the back of the block that can leak over time? I checked all the fittings before the motor went in so I know that isn't the problem. I'm going to replace the oil filter just to make sure I didn't get a defective one.

Anything else I can check?

Check the Pcv chamber. Its a black box that connects to the back of the block, its purpose is to re-circulate blow by gases from the block back into the mainfold to be consumed.

Good call. I found that my Oil Pressure sensor was cracked and leaking.

Thanks.
