Default Oil leak

Has anyone had their oil pan leak? I did a cam swap and after it was on the dyno (about pull number 4) it started dripping oil out of the clutch ports. Looked through the ports and it looks like it’s seeping through a small spot between the block and oil pan. I guess the question here is do I need to pull the motor back out to seal it again? Can I pull the pan from under the car? Can I use like rear main seal additive to see if it seals it? Really really don’t want to pull this whole motor again... but if that’s my only option, that’s what will happen.

You don't have to pull the engine to get the pan off. It's not easy to do though.
