Update: redid the oil pan gasket (bolts are steel not aluminum as in other posts so I wasted $100 there lol) and still had the leak. Tightened down the pan a little more and it completely stopped.

Best part of this was swapping the motor mounts that had 20k miles from previous rb service. The manual shift from 1-2 doesn’t lock out as it did before. If you have a sc 6 speed car this should be changed every 10k miles. The driver side mount was crooked from the sc weight on the driver side of the engine.
