So clean it again and watch it from cold?
 
The only place for an oil leak above the filter but below the head is from the oil pressure switch. which is situated above the oil filter, it's either loose or oil is coming out via the electrical terminal.

I've no need for a crystal ball, I own a V8 :cool:
