Are you sure it's not a leak from the back of the cylinder head, dribbling down to a low spot on the engine? There's a big plug in the back of the head which can pop out if crankcase pressure gets high. You also need to check your flame trap to make sure it's not plugged - that will drive internal pressures up and exaggerate any oil leaks.
