So do you have any new ideas as to where the oil is coming from?See post 17
I don’t actually see how you know a new seal leaks if there’s no oil in it
But are sure it is not leak of some sort from further up and just colouring itself to look like engine oil.
Look at that drip on the clutch slave

Possibly the main seal or further up the block.
Based on smell test, it doesn't smell like much - it's not diesel or brake fluid. The engine is slightly tilted down towards the rear since I had to make room to remove the transfer case. Everything above is completely dry and clean. It looks to be some oil sheen above the sump where the engine block and flywheel housing meet.
