I also noticed the bolt just above the crank case vent on your pan is wet with oil. Your pan gasket looks pretty wet with oil aswell. Looks like the leak is coming from "above" at the gasket. Is it possible you have to much oil in it? 4 quarts for non canister filtered flatheads and 5 quarts with the filter.
