Yeah, I need to spend more time on it. It is mostly after a hard run, but is more than 3 drops, but not much more. Since I am going to change out the pan in the next few weeks, which isn't leaking, but is only a street/strip pan, I figured I'd wait to chase leaks until after that.  It's not bad right now and I could probably live with it, but I want zero leaks and naively believe that is possible. The oil adaptor block could also be suspect, but I don't think that's it anymore.
There you go Chas, how was that for a re-jack?
