Default Oil leak investigation

Have been chasing an oil leak on my new SPF since delivery. After cleaning, nothing drips while sitting in the garage. However, after each ride, oil can be found scattered throughout the underside of the chassis, resulting in multiple small drip locations. Following the oil forward, it seems to originate near the remote oil filter adapter plate attached to the block of my 408 Keith Craft engine. Have been cleaning and tweaking the multiple fittings in the area for awhile now, but the leak persists.

Looking for another suspect. Right next to the oil filter adapter is a small plastic hose attached to a small fitting on the block. Guessing it is the hose that goes to the oil pressure gauge.

That may be the source of my leak. Anyone know how it is assembled (a schematic?). I can barely see it, let alone get a wrench on it. Hose appears to be going into an adapter, which is then screwed into a fitting in the block. Assume they are part of the Superformance assembly kit.

Thanks,
Bob
