The most common oil leak in the valley is from the HPOP hoses/fittings or the turbo pedestal. The EBPV can also be leaking. Now that you have cleaned it, you should be able to find it a little quicker.

You may also look at the valve cover on that side, could be loose and leaking, or the seals on the gasket are worn and leaking.
