Thanks!
This is why I dropped into the thread with what might sound like a different problem.

Several of us have found what first appeared to be an oil leak in that exact same area, only to find out upon careful investigation (in my case by TWO shops) that it is NOT an oil leak at all but some left over assembly or shipping "grease" that turns brown and VERY stiff (hard) after it cooks on the hot engine for a while.

You may have that condition instead of a "real" oil leak.
