How much oil can the stiffening plate hold?

The incident with the drain plug breaking and the resultant leak continues to irk me. Why, you ask? Because though the new plug isn't leaking, I'm either leaking from somewhere, or the plate still has oil in it.

There isn't much of a drip, just a few drops over the course of several hours from the pan in different places. I really don't want to take the plate off. Any ideas? Since I burn a little oil, it's hard to tell if I'm leaking from oil level. I seem to lose half a quart a month, which is a small price to pay for the fun of driving it.

Going to take the air box off over the weekend and see if it's the OFHG.
