Nope, Car is currently on jacks high up at a sharp angle torn apart since I only can work on it during the weekends. Timing cover still hasn't been put on and none of the pan bolts have been torqued except the two big ones that bolt the pan and the bellhousing. The other pan bolts are "snug".

Maybe it’s because it’s not torqued down all the way. Oil could just be sweeping possibly due to the angle of the car on jacks? I’d agree with Stolen and clean the area torque it down. Reclean and see if it seeps still. Keep us updated hoping for a good outcome

1 out of the 4 came out no problem....the other 3 had to be drilled out and it was a horrible experience. took 5 hrs to get to he retainer plate, and entire day to get the the cam out after running around getting bolt extractors and prepping the front to ensure that no metal shavings get inside the oil pan/engine.
I had the EXACT same problem last weekend. I ended up cutting a cross in the bolt heads with a dremel and used a 4lb hammer and chisel to get them to unscrew out. Cut up the retainer plate in the process but I picked one up from BTR for 11 bucks. well worth it. Just plug all holes before cutting, especially at the oil pan. I spent plenty of time cleaning with a microfiber and checking with a magnet afterwards.
