Well I found the source of my oil leak...I know I might get bashed for the stupidity of the leak and I already got laughed at by my friends, but my oil pan had a nice gap in it between the pan and rear main seal housing. The old gasket I had pulled off from when I rebuilt my engine had the rings in the bolt holes that prevent you from over torqueing the oil pan. Well the rings that slip over the studs on the RMS housing separated from the gasket and stayed on the studs which i missed because they looked like they belonged there. Then I realized they weren't so that fixed my problem but I replaced the oil pan gasket and RMS since my trans was out anyway. Just a helpful hint just incase you have a oil leak only when your on an incline....
