Seems like the rear of the lower intake wasnt seated properly. Changed the lower intake gasket in november and stored the car, so i"ll see in the spring if it leaks. I will also give all the bolts on the oil pan and valve covers a 1/2 turn see if thightening everything up might also be a solution

depending on the lower gasket you used, they sometimes make the ends toward the back of the gasket out of cork, where others like fel pro use one type of material all the way through which is not cork.

The one piece neoprene oil pan gaskets really are the best ones to use.
