synthetic oil leak on 960 900

Thanks everybody for all your comments.
NJ960: Good point on the Jiffy Lube places. I learned my lesson with those places a while ago when they lost 2 of 4 screws for the plastic cover under the engine. I do all my own oil changes now. I used a new washer on the drain bolt. That area is clean. The oil filter is clean too.
I'm down 1/8 of a quart from full. Thats about the same as my usual oil consumption. There was no new oil underneath the car today. The only oily spot on the engine is the rear intake cam seal. And thats on the head cover, not below. Its been there for a while. I've never really worried about it before because it was so slight.
The area below the rear main seal as well as the transmission pan look clean. Now im more confused than ever.
