Update:
O.K. after putting the fly wheel, bellhousing and starter back on I was able to get the leak to show itself within a few seconds after starting the engine. Turned out to be the drivers side oil galley plug. After closer inspection I noticed that the plug was fitted after the engine was completed and dyno'ed. This would seem to indicate that it had failed on the dyno and was replaced. However, this is only speculation. I have decided that because this car will see track time every now and then that I am going to pull all of the oil galley plugs and then fit them with pipe plugs. The holes are standard 3/8 so a tap will be easy to find. Anyone done this before with success. Is this a bad idea? I have also now acquired my Lakewood bellhousing and found plenty of room available for the install. I will post the results of the "dial-in" as I go. I hope this work is all done by August 23-24 because I'll be runnin her at the Glen again. Some day I'll get the video from my last run uploaded in it's entirety.
