Welcome to FTE!
Only thing I can suggest is clean it up real good, then check for leaks. And maybe your PCV valve and hose should be checked. If they are clogged, you might get pressure in the crankcase forcing these leaks. Does it have a breather filter? Look at that and see if it's oily.

Is it possible that your valve covers have a broken seal? I have seen when people seal an intake they throw away the seal and use a squeeze tube sealant for the front and back, but if you have sealed it twice already, that's probably not it. I think c96drumm was right, clean it up real well, maybe try a good degreaser, and then see where the oil appears first. hope we can be of help here.
Good Luck.
