Whistle OIL PAN LEAK

Someone beat me to it, but I was going to mention the Oil Filter Housing as well. Since you've triple checked that it is the oil pan there is one last option you may consider AT YOUR OWN RISK.

There is a post I will have to look for that shows a 2-3 hr shortcut to replacing the oil pan gasket*******************

RISK***
It involves cutting the new gasket in two different places so you can avoid having to drop the sub frame or remove the axles, to my knowledge the guy who did it and posted pictures of it did not have any leaks develop as he used a bit of gasket maker on the areas that were cut. Someone here may have a link to that DIY, I am gearing up to do that on mine at some point but I want to do the OFH first before I touch the pan. The other thing you can do to buy you a bit more time, is snug the oil pan down just a tad bit. DO NOT over tighten too much or you'll snap the bolts, that may or may not do the trick depends on the condition of the gasket.
