clean the whole thing spotless with engine degreaser.. then add an ultraviolet dye to the oil.. run it for a while then use a black light to chase the leak back to the source..

Did you change the o'rings on the bottom of the pedestal also?

Sounds like dipstick bung on the oil pan, I just fixed this on mine with rtv by baking the nut off and carefully gooping it around the bung retighten the nut and wipe off excessthere is a more permanent repair if you replace the oring inside the pan but its a lot more difficult,

Yap, I had also a leak there on mine truck too, and I also locked that big nut.
