Thanks, guys. The only thing I could find with the oil dye was some where the oil pan joins the block on the passenger's side. There isn't any on the balancer. None on/around the heads.

I just replaced the oil pan gasket with a new one. I put in a windage tray and used a one piece rubber gasket. It was leaking like this before installing the windage tray and changing the gasket. I didn't think it was the pan since the leak continued the same after the install.

It looks like I'm gonna have to take everything off and reassemble. I did the tray install with the motor in the car and it was a PAIN.

Sounds like a winter project - remove the tranny, radiator, and electrics. Remove the engine from the car. Remove the balancer and oil pan. Check all seals. Reinstall. Thinking about using "The Right Stuff" Gray gasket sealer with the rubber one piece gasket upon reassembly.

I'm just going to leave it for now, unless I find a different source for the leak. (I thought of valve cover gasket too, but they look dry and tight.) It doesn't leak enough now to waste the summer months driving.
